Jan. 26th, you'll be practicing all day with other 4th-8th graders from the Tulsa region. Dan Wootton, a personal friend of mine, will be conducting the choir and working with you all day. You'll love him! He's one of the finest musicians I know and he's so fun to be inspired by. I'm so glad that you'll be a part of this great day.
Be sure to listen to your recording (I made you a CD). Here's the list of kids and their parts:

Elsah James, Soprano
Sarah Synar, Soprano
Kaelyn Case, Soprano

Andrew Krueger, Soprano & 3 pt. Middle

Here's some links you may enjoy without the BLARING CLARINET on your part.

You will only be singing the last song of the Five Spirituals by Michael Tippett.
It's Deep River and here's a link for listening:

A Vivid Riddle
Since this song was written for this choir, it's NEVER been performed before. Therefore, there's not recording for listening. However, it may be helpful to see the lyrics written down.

This music is QUITE CHALLENGING, but I know that Mrs. LeDoux will help you navigate through the songs. Be sure to attend each and every MSHC rehearsal on Thursday mornings. Also, as March gets closer, we'll need to begin to practice a little extra.
Congratulations on being accepted ---
