1 MM Friends, I apologize for this missive being late. I m out of town this week in Boise/Sun Valley to work with a high school choir on a recruiting trip and then to attend the Idaho ACDA conference in Sun Valley. Please be prepared to run the show next Monday night. My rehearsal plan for next Monday is as follows: Britten Run R & H announcements and dismissal of full choir solos & duets The following Monday night, 10/17 at the Silverthorne we will go over blocking AND we will do the entire show. Please be on time so that we can have the full rehearsal time- note that we begin at 7pm. I m going to ask that you come warmed up so that we can make the most of our time in that space- thanks! Show order is as follows. I will go over these details when we are at the Silverthorne on Monday 10/17, so please save your questions for that evening- they may be answered before that.

Procession Pronunciation: I m not sure how many of you use IPA, and I don t have all of the symbols on my keyboard, so I m going to use a syllabic pronunciation for now. Since the Procession is in Latin, it s spelled out syllabically: Aw-dee-eh kree-stoos nah-toos ehst, Aw-dee-eh sahl-vah-tawr ah-pah-roo eet, Aw-dee-eh een the-rah kan-noont ahn-jeh-lee

As dew in Aprille I sing of a may-dehn that is mah-keh-less, king ahv ahl kings to her sawn shee chase. He came all so still, there his mother was, As dew in Ah-preel that fall-eth on the grass He came all so still, to his mother s bow r, As dew in Ah-preel that fall-eth on the flow r, He came all so still, there his mother lay, As dew in Ah-preel that fall-eth on the spreh. Mother and may-dehn, wahz neh-vah nun but shee, Wehl may such a lay-dee, Gawd s mo-ther bee. This is in 1; very fast. Note that at the end there is no break. It crescendos into the downbeat of the next movement. 6. This little babe This lih-tole baybe, so fehw days old, is come to ri-fole Say-tahn s fold Awl hell doth at his preh-sense kwake, though he himself for cold do shake, For in this weak un-ahrm-ehd wize, the gayts of hell he will suh-prize. With teers he fights and wins the feeld, his nay-ked brehst stahnds for a sheeld. His bat-ring shot are bab-ish cries, his arrows looks of weeping eyes. His mar-shall ehn sighns cold and need, and fee-bole flehsh his wahr-yores steed. His kamp is pi-ch-ed in a stahl, his bul-werk but a bro-ken wall. The krib his trench hay-stahlks his stakes, of shep-ehrds he his muhs-ter makes. Ahnd thus as shure his foe to woond, thee an-jehls trumps ah-lah-ruhm sound. My sole with Krist (long i), joyn thou in fite, stik to the tehnts that he hath pite, Within his krib his shoor-est wahrd, this lit-tole bayb will be thy gard. If thou wilt foyl thy foes with choy, then flit not from this heh-vehn-lee boy. Also fast, in 1. Presto con fuoco = as fast as possible with fire 7. Interlude- harp solo 8. In Freezing Winter Night Beh-hold ah sil-lee, tehn-der bayb in freez-ing win-ter night. In home-ly mayn-jer trehm-bling lies, ah-lahs, a pi-tee-uhs site. Thee inns ahre fole, no mahn will yield, this lit-tole pil-grim behd. Baht fors d he iz with sil-lee beests, in krib to shrowd his hehd This stay-bole iz a prins-ez kort, this krib his chayr ov stayt The beests are parsel of his pohmp, the wood-ehn dish his playt The pers-uns in that poor ah-tyr, his roy-ahl lihv-rees ware The prins him-sehlf iz cum frum heh vn this pohmp is pri-zehd (long i) there NNNNNNNNNN Mm S1- Sop line; S2 on top alto line; A1 & A2 on bottom alto line.
