Message:   Dear Chorus,

We had an excellent rehearsal on Thursday! It is very important that everyone, and I mean everyone, review the Honegger regularly from here forward. Work with the audio materials diligently and we will all reap enjoyment!

This Thursday (01/11/07) is Rossini only. We will sit SATB with sopranos to the right as you walk in, basses to the left. As I mentioned at the Wednesday rehearsal, there will be a raft of communication as Rossini ratchets up. Please see the following, just in from Mo. Queler, and enter it into your score before Thursday, when she will join us for the second half of the rehearsal.

Have a great week and practice well!
Kent
