COMMENTS ON MUSIC THREE

 Comments three

Water Is Wide: Page 3, Measure 27, crescendo.

Don’t Be Cruel: Page 2, Measure 4, tenors sing mf. Page 6, Measure 35, baritones sing mf. Page 7, Measure 44, and Page 10, Measure 62, ‘cruel’ is short so don’t hold on to it. Page 11, Measure 74, softer. Page 12, Measure 79, louder and crescendo. Page 12, Measure 83, stay on vowel sound (WTD) until cutoff and give a strong ‘v’ sound on cutoff.

And All That Jazz: Page 4, Measure 23, the first word of the second ending is ‘do’, not ‘all’. If necessary, write in a reminder up in Measure 16. Page 11, Measure 61, there is an extra measure of rest than what has been normal previously; do not sing a solo.

Music Lead the Way: Page 5, Measure 25, “o’er” is short so do not hold it out. Page 8, Measure 43, “passed” is short so do not hold it out. Page 11, Measure 75, “passed” is short so do not hold it out.

Celebrate Music: Page 6, Measure 41, put a quarter rest at the end of the measure. Page 10, Measures 78 through 82, crescendo.

COMMENTS ON MUSIC TWO

 Another Op’nin’ Another Show: Throughout, “an-oth-er” is pronounced as “a-nuh-ther” and don’t chew on the ‘r’ at the end. Where it is held out, don’t close on the ‘r’ until cutoff. Page 13, Measures 135 through 140, baritones take middle note with all tenors on top note.

Water Is Wide: Page 3, Measure 21, through Page 4, Measure 30, more volume from baritones.

Don’t Be Cruel: Page 6, Measure 5, baritones sing mf while others sing mp. Page 7, Measure 44, ‘cruel’ is short so don’t hold on to it. Same at Page 10, Measure 62, and Page 11, Measure 72. Page 11, Measure 74, softer. Page 12, Measure 79, louder.
