The Cecilian Society

I know Lorna said we'd put notes on the forum, and unfortunately I have neither notes nor my score about my person whilst I sit at the computer.

I will produce detailed notes in due course, but to get the ball rolling before Sunday my main note for the chorus is: Gentlemen - please look over Pirelli's Miracle Elixir before Sunday. I know you are severely outnumbered, but every single entry for the guys was late or absent. The ladies are, quite frankly, whupping your ass on this one at the moment.

God That's Good - the Yums were outstanding; everything that wasn't a "Yum" suffered a little bit from "bar 3" syndrome i.e. by the time everyone realises what they're doing the third bar is amazing, but the entrance is weak. Be alert: We are not Bar 3 people. We are Bar 1 people, people!

Epilogue - As Marion said last night, the focus on the finale was absolutely electric so let's filter that through to the rest of the show. The build up on "The more he bleeds, the more he lives" is phenomenal but there should be a sudden snap to quiet as soon as you start "He never forgets and he never forgives". It's so very nearly perfect, but at the moment it's fading over a bar when it should be sudden. [It's a subito pp for those of you of a technical bent]

Watch this space. More detailed notes may follow.
