Choir concert
2019-02-24 13:30 - 15:30 | Garran, 7 Boake Place, Garran, ACT, 2605, Australia
The concert for Lina Schlager and residents is at the community hall of Southern Cross Care Village, Garran (see details below). Members of the Choir are requested to arrive at 1.30pm for a 2pm start.
Songs
Geoff has worked out the song order for us as follows (please also note his comments):
8 – Gang rüef de Bruune (V. 1, 3, 4) with bells in chorus (to start singing as we enter the auditorium)
3 – Schweizer Psalm German+Romansch
5 – Mir Senne hei s luschtig (V. 1, 2, 4)
12 – Niene geits so schön und luschtig (V. 1, 3, 4) Remember the jodel is slower.
7 – s’Ramseyers wei go grase (all verses)
10 – Le vieux chalet V. 1, 3, 4 Note: After thinking about this for some time, I think the echo is too soft as a solo and gets lost! No disrespect Susie. Can I therefore ask ALL the Sopranos and Altos to sing the echo together and the men to just ‘Oooo’. I think this will work better.
16 – Abendstille überall Remember: A short piano intro, then we all hum through once, then we all start the song together and keep singing until I bring in each section. Then we/ll finish it by bringing everyone together as we end on the third section.
Solo – From These Dear Mountains (Von meinem Bergli) Geoff
40 – Mues allewil s’plogeti Hansli si (all verses)
19 – Vo Luzern uf Wäggis zue (V. 1, 2, 4)
36 – Steimandli-Jutz Remember we will only sing section 2 once, no repeat.
60 – E gschänkte Tag (all verses). Watch me for dynamics and speed changes.
25 – I am Australian (V. 1, 2, 3 only). All voices singing all verses – in your parts if you’re confident enough.
We will wear our usual uniform the Sennenchutteli for the concert. Sheet music sorted in your red folders; or where appropriate “cheat sheets” with the words only (Spickzettel).
