Practice Videos III

Here are the parts for two Eucharistic hymns that we will be singing with some regularity & which are already in your notebooks.  There are a zillion versions of these, including chants.  We will learn other arrangements when we get these basics down.  Some notes:

I) In O Salutaris Hostia, we will sing the three notes for host-Sti-Li-A and Ter-Mi-No as straight quarter notes of equal length, not what is printed.

II) Remember that "H"s in Latin are silent, so we will sing Hostia as "Oh-stee-ah" and in Panis Angelicus, we will sing hominum as "Oh-mee-noom."  Got it?  I knew you would.

III) We will add the Amens to these hymns, even if not printed.  I will give you your notes at practice, though you can probably guess them.

IV) A trick for learning/checking your part is to sing your part with another part or with the All Parts recording.  You will find out quickly if you really know your part.
