Hello All,
Here are some music rehearsals that I hope you find helpful. Please use the YouTube practice tracks to familiarize yourself with the "Entr'acte". We will be learning it this coming Saturday from 2:00-3:00pm. It'll go faster if that isn't the first time everyone is looking at that music.
Here is the link to the YouTube practice tracks. Each vocal part has its own recording. There are also recordings of just the accompaniment and all parts played together over accompaniment. These tracks are correct to what we have/are doing for the most part. Mezzos/2nd Sopranos usually sing with the Altos and Baritones usually sing with the Basses unless given their own line or otherwise noted in rehearsal.
I've also included a Dropbox link where I've recorded the parts that are assigned differently from how the practice tracks assign them. Some of these may have changed from rehearsal. Please make sure to take a listen to them. Included on Dropbox are: -#2E. Bells of Notre Dame m. 21-end -#16A. Esmeralda m. 75-end -#26. Finale Ultimo m. 116-end
