Conductor's Notes
  • FESTIVAL SANCTUS: Use Standard Latin. Double check the rhythm in measure #28.
  • PURE IMAGINATION: Teach the optional solos to all students (we may not use individual solo singers). 
  • SING TO ME: Use a Long E vowel in "sing". 
  • SEOTHIN SEO: A Pronunciation Guide is listed in the program notes. For the phrase "iss *thoo muh lan-uv" please have students place the "t" in thoo behind the teeth (dental). At measure #60 hand claps should be on the beat. STop the hand claps at measure #80. On the solo at  measure #32, we will have about 15 featured singers. If you have a student who is an exceptional soloist, please send Ashley Coffman their name at acoffman1@tps501.org. 
  • OH HAPPY DAY: The recording listed below is very similar to the version Mrs. Ellis will use. If you have a singer interested in the solo, they must be able to adlib and improvise. Prepare the students for an audition. They will be selected during rehearsal.
