Teaching Guide

  • Teach the choristers to sing the intervals in bars 12-19.
  • Teach the choristers to chant the words in rhythm; teach meter changes.
  • Teach the choristers to sing the melody on the syllable “loo” (without piano).
  •  Teach each phrase with text and melody together, emphasizing breath support.
  • If a group of choristers is singing the solo part together, work on making this section sound like a recitativ, rather than sounding metered.
