Angels We Have Heard On High Choraegus ShareMusic Rehearsal Notes Rememer hat you re sgg - keep the sound light and angelic! The chorus countermelody makes rather high dictional demands, so I advise practicg the chorus sections sloly at first, then up to tempo. or more ideas on choral diction, surf over to http://.choraegus.com/lw/dissertations/diction/. (Measures 29-42, 59-88) The chorus countermelody ( We come to orship Him ith oy and sgg... ) runs parallel to the melody many places, and so it s important to differentiate the to so that the lyrics don t ecome muddled. Proaly the est ay to do this is through timral differentiation : Have the first and second sopranos sg their parts ith a righter tone, and have the alto sg the countermelody ith a darker tone - ut adust your timres to match hen the parts come ack together at excelsis Deo. (Measures 29-42, 59-88) The third verse is mor key. (Measures 43-51) The second soprano (middle part) has the melody the fourth verse. (Measures 52-59) Practice the endg sloly so that all the ords and pitches are correct, then gradually take it up to tempo. Once you have that mastered, try addg a it of an accelerando to measures 84-86, folloed y a (ig?) rallentando measures 87-88. (Measures 84-88) Got any other suggestions for rehearsal notes?
