Music Notes

• Summer 2019:

  • Fa la’s instead of ding dong? (for consideration)

  • Say “guhl” at the beginning instead of “gle”

  • Remember to sing the words of the second verse in the repeat

• 11.19.19:

  • Beginning slowing, basses help us get into true tempo at measure 5

  • Last two measures: unison “underneath the tree”

  • Erika: note solo harmony (measures 42 (and repeat) and 72)

  • Measure 34: change “alone” to “la day”

  • 66 to 67 from crescendo to soft piano (micro breath between 66 and 67)

  • If you have the “ding dongs”, or chorus solo sing out (and match volumes across parts)

• 11.26.19:

  • Make sure you're singing the "nah" as written in the music during choruses

• 11.21.23:

  • All "nah"s written in after the "din din din din" pattern are actually "DAH" (measure 5 onward)

  • Intro is slower, and speeds up with the basses' "nananana" at the end of measure 4
