AUDITIONS FOR 2008-2009

VOCAL ARTS ENSEMBLE
The audition piece, Ave Maria by Lorten Lauridsen, is now posted in a secure location near Guantánamo, Cuba.
To download a pdf of the music, please contact Brian Lawler for a username and password and access information.
This piece is written in eight parts. It will be auditioned in octets, one person per voice.
The auditions will be held on Tuesday, September 9, beginning at 4:00 p.m.

NOTE: Mr. Lamprecht has made changes to the interpretation of the music for women. Those instructions are:

WOMEN:
Switch parts in the following manner:

Measure 14: The sopranos should sing the printed b and d as written on beat one.
The sopranos should breathe on beat 2 and switch to the alto part on the and of beat two. This will end at measure 16.
The altos should sing f# on beat 1 of measure 14 for 1 1/2 beats, then one beat of rest, then jump to the soprano part on the and of beat three. This will end at measure 16.
This same switch should happen again in measures 62 and 63.

TENORS:
In several places the music splits into three-part divisi. For these parts:
Tenorettes take the highest note
Tenor Ones take the middle note
Tenor Twos take the low note


VOCAL ARTS ENSEMBLE YOUTH CHOIR
The VAEYC piece is Some Children See Him by Wihla Hutson and Alfred Burt (SATB).
That piece will be posted soon.
