All-State Choir 09-10

Please go to http://www.tmea.org/ to get the rehearsal notes for the music. Mark it in red, so you know what is necessary, versus what other teachers/directors tell you to mark in your music. Make sure you look at the "Rehearsal Notes" as well as the "Misprints" on the Audition Material page.

Here are some recordings of the songs for this year's selection of all-state choir music. Some are good recordings, while others are not so good. Again, these are just sample recordings, and something to give you an idea of what they sound like in the performance.

Abendlied

I'm Seventeen Come Sunday

Sanctus

The King Shall Rejoice

Wie der Hirsch Schreit

Pueri Hebraeorum (SSAA) We are in Area D, so learn the Chorus I part

Cantate Domino (SSAA) - you need to type the code in the box, then click "Enable download and listen"

Ave Maria (TTBB)

Blow Ye the Trumpet - this is an SATB recording, but the version we're singing is TTBB
