At choir rehearsal last night, we went over the following music:
Troparia and Kontakia - breathing
Trisagion - pace
Explained “Alleluia…” sequence
Practiced "We Have No Help..." (Ledkovsky)
“O Victorious Leader…” (Allemanov) - must go briskly
Paschal Nocturnes – dynamic, pace, enunciation, pitch
- after Kontakion – “This is the most blessed Sabbath…”
- “Do not lament me…”
- “Thy Resurrection, O Christ our Savior…”
Procession… “Thy Resurrection…” Clergy – XC thrice, we repeat thrice
“Let God Arise…” XC is repeated
Paschal Canon…Don’t hold half notes too long – music as guide and not rule
Praises
