This is the new tagline for In Flagrante.
The charity chosen for the Winter Concert is React: https://reactcharity.org/
Tickets will be available from the end of October, and all the sales will go to the charity. The tickets will be non-refundable, and resales will go through Jan.
We only have nine Tuesdays left before the concert, so a concerted effort is needed to listen, watch and learn.
'There is something worse than being sad, and that's being alone and sad. Ain't nobody in this room alone.' Ted Lasso
You’ll Never Walk Alone – start this with warmth and commitment.
Only breathe when you see the rests. Do not dare to breathe at any other time!
At the end of each phrase, end it with crisp consonants and watch Eammon for the cut-offs.
The lower notes must be quiet and intense, and the higher notes can be louder.
Sops, commit to the very high notes!
Fields of Gold – Sop 2s, be confident about your entry.
Altos ‘In his arms, as her hair’ section, don’t breathe and build the phrase up.
The last ‘gold’ is very long, so take a deep breath and control it.
Kenny Rogers's version, Something Inside So Strong – ‘Hm’ should be a strong ‘h’ like coughing up phlegm!
The tune is passed around the different voice types in this song, a bit like a relay, so be ready when the baton is passed to you.
The ‘Oh ehs’ should sound tribal and rhythmic, and when the ‘Oh’ changes into an ‘Ah’, make it shine like a shaft of light.
Make this edgy and intense.
Listen to Dropbox and be ready to finish this song next week.
We ended with All My Trials.
We have done much work on this song over the past few weeks.
Basses, remember you are not on the tune!
This song needs patience and singing the words right until the end with a lot of breath control.
Don’t expect an email from Eamonn. Next week, we’ll finish Something Inside So Strong and go through -
Nights in White Satin, We’ll Gather Lilacs and Waterloo Sunset. More information on these songs will be provided in next week’s blog.
Keep up the excellent work, and keep singing!
