Despite the parts not always being active simultaneously the choir in the recording sounds very together and we could work on that by paying more attention to the feel of the words and phrases rather than just the dynamics. Also since the tenor part is so high we could utilize the punch float technique and try to sound more legato.

I liked how flowy the whole piece sounds. All of the parts are really confident and we could do more of that. Don’t be afraid to sing your part. The whole piece should sound smooth

We need to work on our dynamics to make the contrast of the piece stand out.  In addition we should work on our phrasing to really try to construe a meaning out of the piece despite the fact that it’s in German. As a group we can still allow the piece to have meaning.

I enjoy the constant contrast in dynamics throughout the piece. Also, I really like how the tempo speeds up between measures 40-45 when the sopranos take the melody. Overall, the tempo is a lot faster than what we practice in Chorale. With contrast in dynamics and tempo, we can make this piece sound beautiful. Now that we have it pretty much learned, we have some time to experiment with those things.

The recording is very smooth. The song is supposed to be light and almost like a lullaby. All of the ends of their lines cut off at the same time. When we sing it we are never together. It is not a hard song so if everyone is focused then there is no reason we should be cutting off at different times. The soprano line around 45 is very pronounced and bouncy. Ours is dragging.

They paid great attention to the dynamics; this brought a lot of contrast to the piece that I don't think we have acquired yet. Also, even in the quietest parts, they kept their energy up which made it sound really exciting even though it is a very slow, flowing song. They also had really good balance. I feel like we need to work most on staying piano/pianissimo when it is marked, because we tend to get loud too quickly and then just stay there. Paying attention to these dynamics will help us get the balance the recording has as well.

I really liked how much emphasis this choir placed on their dynamics. They were able to stay piano when they were supposed to while still maintaining energy. The forte at measure 61 and the decresendo in measure 62 were especially nice. I also enjoyed the hairpin phrase at measure 58. I think that if we were to pay better attention to the dynamics that are written in the score, the piece would sound much more interesting and be way more fun to perform. I also liked this choir's pronounciation of the German words, and I think we need to do a better job at remembering how to pronounce these words.

I really liked the control the choir had with their dynamics. They stayed quite soft throughout the entirety of the piece which is what we are aiming for. So this is definitely something we need to incorporate into our performance. They also did a great job with using forward motion for the half notes. They also had a really good balance among all of the voice parts which I feel like is something we struggle with. Overall we need to have the controlled energy that they had.

I really liked the dynamics of the choir and the tempo changes throughout the recording, but what was really cool was how all the vowels matched for everything even in German. We could make our vowels all match and sound 7.4 times better than we do now.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved the dynamics throughout the piece. They had the tempo change in some parts as it got louder and softer which I like a lot. The vowels in each voice part solo were tall and had energy especially in the alto solo. In our performance, we can add those dynamics and add emphasis to certain parts of the music. I think also with better vowels, the German words will come out beautifully.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked the difference in dynamic that this group has. I also love the speed changes, it really adds to the beauty with dynamic changes. "Sacht" is way softer, but still full of energy as well, which I love. Chorale can always work to have better vowels and energy as we continue this piece! It CAN sound beautiful!

I loved the sound of the choir. Very energetic and emotional, yet very particular with diction and dynamics. Their intonation and tone were both very good, as well as their ability to communicate each German word very clearly. We could do all of this through paying attention as to what the words are communicating, and make sure we convey our expression through our singing. The markings will come naturally.

Their use of dynamics was outstanding. Aside from the solo lines, the piece is a bit repetitive; so adding in extreme dynamics is much needed. It sounded so mature and  each vowel was lined up perfectly. you can tell that each singer spun their air throughout the whole piece. I think we need to focus on understanding what  "true" piano means; and how to achieve it. Dynamics are so important, and  they truly make a piece.

I really liked the energy in the piece. The dynamics in the piece are also really amazing. To improve I feel we need to keep all of our vowels in the words perfect especially given that it is in german. This piece will be very beautiful if we do those simple things.

I love the energy that this choir has.  You can really tell that they are spinning their air, even through sections that are very soft.  It sounded very mature, and their diction added to that energy.  We need to always make sure our vowels are lined up so that we sound more balanced, and improve our dynamic level.  It would really be impressive if our softs were even softer, but still filled with the energy that this choir has.  I also really liked how they sang through measures 38-47, it was a different tempo and brought some excitement to the piece.

I enjoyed how energized and mature the piece sounded. I think that we really need to work on dynamics. We constantly sing the piece at one level when we should be thinking about the dynamic contrasts throughout the piece. I think that we need to have much more energy throughout the entire piece. Each note longer than one beat (one quarter note) should be sung with forward motion and energy. We should also work on the cut offs and shadow vowels. I think that if we work together and watch Mrs. Bennett's conducting we should easily be able to make those improvements (especially in dynamics).

# data[].attributes.body
The dynamics were what stuck out the most and made the peice very  beautiful, and gave it an airy quality. I also noticed that their vowels were all together.  I think that we could add in more with the dynamics, especially in measures 57-59 during the hairpin phrase. Also I think we could work on our vowels in some German words by making sure we have fish lips and open vowels.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed the use of dynamics in the piece as it added a lot more contrast. I think our performance could use some energy behind it in order to keep the song from getting boring. I also think that if we elongated our vowels, or at least they all were matching, it would make the piece more in tune.

# data[].attributes.body
Their use of the dynamics and tempo give a sense of motion and energy throughout the entire piece. When the swelling comes with the crescendo the sound is very pleasing in combination with the open vowels give a lovely sound (measure 69 to 70). We could definitely improve on our transitions between dynamics and our vowels to give a more confident feel. After improvements are made then we should come together as a whole as a choir.

I loved the balance of voices in the choir, every section was able to be heard but didn't  overpower each other. Their dynamics were beautiful but their tempo caught my attention. To make the piece more interesting, they took the tempo and increased it at the parts when the song was reaching it's climax (when the sopranos entered in measure 40), and when the choir sang "Sacht", the tempo slowed down giving the song more depth. What we need to do is to add more depth into the piece and balance the voice parts.

The dynamics and the changing tempo make the piece more interesting. The part with the most interesting dynamics begins at measure 54 where all parts come in. You can hear the individual parts sing louder when they are the most important in the recording. This is similar to Hallelujah Amen in concert choir.

I really liked that the entire choir was blended and the sound was fluid. This is something we definitely need to add to our performance of this piece because right now everything feels very disconnected and choppy. I'm a soprano so I also took note of the soprano's solo line that we have been having trouble with. The choir in the recording does a beautiful job with this line and now I understand the sound that we are looking to produce here.

In addition to the dynamic contrast, I also like how they interpreted the rubato tempo, especially in the soprano solo part pushing the tempo and the following part holding it back. I think if we played with the rubato, the piece would be made all the more musically interesting.

I definitely agree that we need to improve the dynamics, they were very good in this recording. In particular, I think we need to get quieter around the "sacht" part.

I like the dynamics and the pronunciation. We could improve both our dynamics and our German.
