This week’s rehearsal requests from Ed
This week I’d like you to spend time getting to know two of John Rutter’s Birthday Madrigals (which he wrote to celebrate George Shearing’s seventy-fifth birthday). Both are linked from YouTube below. We’ll start work on these next week.
Come Live with Me Draw on, Sweet Light
I’d also like you to spend time with numbers 2, 4, and 6 from the Songs and Sonnets and John Bennet’s Weep O Mine eyes.
A lot to be getting familiar with and do also spend time on those corners from yesterday that you know aren’t quite right yet. Moments were sounding really good yesterday and the more time you put in in between the more we’ll all get out of it.
Shearing’s Songs and Sonnets – YouTube – Playlist
For anyone wanting to get ahead with rehearsing your part, before Crispin does the usual tracks, you may find the following from the John Fletcher site useful:
