Visit PLU, choir exchange

The choir directors at PLU are willing to have us come sit in on one of their rehearsals, and have the directors work with you. Two directors have offered to do this, one being Richard Nance who is the director of choral activities, and the president of the Northwest region of the American Choral Director's association (among many accolades), and a prominent composer.

To meet with them we would need to go to PLU on a weekday other than Friday and be there in the late afternoon. Their choirs rehearse from 3:40 to 5:10 pm.
Choir members please respond to the poll on the left concerning your availability.

Note Learning

Here is a link to a website that will play your part for the Kyrie of the Haydn Mass we are doing:

http://www.cyberbass.com/Major_Works/Haydn_J/haydn_lord_nelson.htm

This one plays the accompaniment softly and your part loudly.
Here is another site:


http://www.rfms.org/Archive/ArchHaydNelson.htm

This one plays the other choir parts softly and your part loudly - but no accompaniment.
Use whichever works best for you!
