In preparation for the Cecilia Chorus of New York's premiere in the USA of The Prison by Ethel Smyth, I have produced full audio-realisation, with individual rehearsal lines for double Soprano, Contralto, Tenor and Bass. It is a task that requires great care for more than 1000 bars of music and a running time of about 50 minutes. But the end result is that a work that has been very seldom heard can become familiar to choir members and their own practice can be done in the context of the work at large.
Messe Romane by Thierry Escaich
In preparation for the Cecilia Chorus of New York performance of Messe Romane by Thierry Escaich, I have been commissioned to produce rehearsal tracks for some of the choir parts. This involves producing a near-complete audio realisation of the score and then highlighting a particular vocal line to aid learning.
Der Zippelfagottist
Working for a singer in the Cecilia Chorus of New York, I have been commissioned to produce rehearsal tracks to aid learning Der Zippelfagottist, for its premiere. The composition was written by Jonathan Breit and will be performed on 10th December at Carnegie Hall.
