sooo fast on the claps
Nice slow down before the tenors enter
Altos-need better vowel sound on the Lu-ujah during teners' slow part
The only syllable i can hear from sorprano 1s at the end is 'lu' again and again]]> 2017-04-06 17:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165207821 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165211343 -lame intrance
-many individual voices were sticking out
-French horn did well
-transition from Lala to ale was not very smooth
-Tenors needed to be a little louder at their solo spot
-sopranos back off at the end

pretty decent matching of sop/tenor to alto/bass in beginning
short cut off of ya is nasty
layered section has awful vowels
GROSS CLAPPING EW
layered part under clapping is so so lost agh
WHERE ARE THE DYNAMICS
tenors where you at
"le" is strained by tenors in quiet section
sopranos are overwhelming most of the song
GET IT MRS PACE YEAH
sopranos sound tight and closed

-Can't hear altos on the "alle, alle, alle ah,"
-we sped up when started clapping
-Tenors needed to be louder when they came in by themselves.

Beautiful tone,
Garret did a wonderful job.
So did Mrs. Pace!
Rushing a lot ]]> 2017-04-06 17:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165212528 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165212679 -Weak soprano and tenor entrance
-Soprano 1s didn't blend very well on some parts; too loud
-Overlapping parts got really crazy. I honestly don't even know what else to say about it
-Tenors were very quiet
-Sopranos need to chill on the volume; way too loud]]> 2017-04-06 17:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165212679 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213434 The basses were good on the part of alleluia and the clapping was great just by keepin the beats together and the ending was sounded wonderful and great job to garret great horn player.]]> 2017-04-06 17:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213434 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213476 Tenor high notes sound strained. Tenor blend/vowels needs work. we cut off the "ia" on alleluia instead of connecting it.  Tempo also needs to be worked on. Clapping is a bad idea.

very soprano heavy at times. 
SLowwww DOwwwwnnnnn
Work more on "Le" vowel.
Tenors need to be louder on their section where they sing alone.]]> 2017-04-06 17:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213481 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213482 +
good volume 
pretty good blend(i can hear all sections)
nice nasal on the yalalas 
- 
the short cut off on the alleluia was awkward
clapping didn't seem right 
bases could have been louder when they came in after the tenor solo part
tenor volume too low]]> 2017-04-06 17:22:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213482 310991 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213501 - I love the french horn! 
- Our entrances should be more together
- Dynamics can be greater
- We sped up in the clapping 
- A lot of the middle mushed together]]> 2017-04-06 17:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213501 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213503 -Beginning sounds a little rushed
-No breathing in the middle of words
-altos??
-claps ://///
-More tenors
-Nice blend
-Sopranos seem a bit overbearing]]> 2017-04-06 17:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213503 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213509 -already speeding up! yikes!
-individual voices are coming out
-dynamics were really good in some places
-CLAPS! stress
-sopranos don't forget to be musical
-the very beginning of the song can be better
-sopranos! chill out!

we're getting faster and faster, and faster, and faster.  
When I was a young man, I heard of this thing called balance, and then a soprano screamed at me, telling me I was too loud and taking the spotlight off her.]]> 2017-04-06 17:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213510 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213511 +Blend at beginning
Basses are sounding good
Dynamics
Strong ending



- Sopranos are too much
Cant hear tenors or altos
On the luia's bass and sopranos need to back off
WE SPEED UP HELLA HARD!!
Tenors solo is kind of underwhelming 
Tenors need to blend better

+vowels improving
+Sopranos killed it

-We get flat at times.
-Sometimes sound strained.
-clapping off
-Not always balanced.
-Sometimes had weird sound breaks.

~balance
~Where are the altos and tenors?
~Yalalalas....ouch
~DICTION
~Dynamics are good for the most part
~can here tenors in their solo, but it would be even better if it sounded more confident or slightly louder
~sopranos are too heavy
~really though what happened in the middle??
~Still can't ever really here the tenors or altos
~maybe try not to overshadow the horn so much]]> 2017-04-06 17:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213530 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213534 Good entrance Bass
 
Tenor needs to be more confident; Lord knows that we have a small amount of tenors but I believe you can be more confident and become louder.

It was really good tho]]> 2017-04-06 17:23:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213534 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213549 sped up when clapping happened
people coming in got messed up a bit ]]> 2017-04-06 17:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213549 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213551 I like the overall energy we had in this song. We did a good job creating an excited and upbeat mood. 
I think we let that energy get the best of us at times, however. We sped up so much during the clapping part.

Overall, we need to be more sure of the variation of endings
The clapping section... rushed and sloppy at times
Tenors need a louder entrance when it's just them]]> 2017-04-06 17:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213556 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213563 *Confidence is key!
*The overall blend was nice, but we are missing some middle parts
*We sped up at the "ya la la la's"  a lot!.....no more clapping pieces!
*Sopranos were a little heavy in some areas
* There are a few intonation areas]]> 2017-04-06 17:23:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213563 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213566 Volume is good.

-WHAT HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE??????
-All the entrances in the middle part need to be brought out.
-DICTION
- "Yalala's": we really need to work on being confident with the entrances and we need to SLOW DOWN
-We need to work on being able to clap in rhythm ]]> 2017-04-06 17:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213575 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213589 - Enterance w sopranos and tenors at very beginning isnt as secure as it should be
- Good not breathing in the middle of the word!!
- Again, enterances on the dotted section 
- We should have energy through the end of the phrase
- Sopranos rushing the ale-ale-ale-A
- Wow hello piano
- Galloping clapping
- Oh no we're speeding up
-  We messed up the tempo bad wow
- accompaniment sounds GREAT
-good energy on the enterance after we sped up
- A few soprano 1s arent blending (sounds very very slightly under pitch)
- Needs more movement and contrast in the slow section w the tenors
- Should crescendo through long notes 
- Good phrasing!!
- Actually we need to work on phrasing in the very beginning of the A section
- Settle on chords 
- Balance (likely because of recording but still) 
- Ya la la la has the exact same tone as the rest of the song which was not our intention 
- The parts in which we struggle with are very clear so we should learn to either fix it or mask it better

French horn !!!
vowels (for the most part)
the slow down (tenor) was beautiful
staccato ah-le's were good

Work on:
more nasal yalala stuff
Clapping...?????
Alto. Actually singing out louder.

Keep tempo!!!

Tenors need to be louder

There are individual voices that distract from the focus of the piece

Cut off on the short "Hallelujah"
Altos louder on "alle alle alle ah" 
ENTRANCES ON YA LA LA 
Where are altos? I don't think they are real
Very soft during tenor solo part
Good dynamic contrast during the end!!
Sopranos are very loud

-Phrasing is slightly confused. Some people are running the whole phrase without breathing, some are breathing every four measures.
-Clapping had some major rushing.
-Tenors sounded really spread in 'Alle alle alle ah' segment.
-Tenors were getting overpowered at the end of clapping.
-Tenors were quiet on the soli.
-The end sounded strong.

Tempo seems a little quick on the yalalalas

Energy is great, but confidence and energy aren't the same. We sound insecure a lot of the time.

Can't hear the Tenors very well

Altos could be louder on AleAleAleAhs
We seem quite rushed of Yalalalalalalalala part
Vowels were beautiful on Alleluias

The first quiet alleluia section, tones didn't match up quite right and we morphed into a less mature sounding choir. The claps stress me out. I can hear and feel the music speeding up. A little bit louder tenor entrance into the second quiet alleluia section. ]]> 2017-04-06 17:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213705 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213735 Second Alleluia at the beginning from basses and altos seemed strained at the top

This needs some more energy. We have the volume but don't seem into it.

I could hear the nasal

We end a lot of phrases very abruptly

Basses and sopranos drown out the tenors and altos

TENORS GOTTA BE LOUDER

some pitch inaccuracies with soprano 1s

Powerful final chord]]> 2017-04-06 17:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213735 https://padlet.com/ejstafford_pace/el2gyuq2xz09/wish/165213818 -More dynamic contrast
