I'm just looking for some general tips on some pieces we're preparing for our high school spring chorus concert. I don't know how popular they are, but I figure that with our large membership someone will have heard of/performed these, :).
The first is being performed by our about 25 member SATB madrigal group. It is the Reincarnations, which are poems by James Stephens that were arranged for four-part chorus of mixed voices by Samuel Barber. The three pieces in this set are Mary Hynes, Anthony O Daly, and The Coolin (The Fair Haired One).
The second is being performed by our chorale, which has about 60 members or so. It is the Trois Chansons (Three Chansons), with words by Charles D'Orleans and music by Claude Debussy. This one also consists of three pieces: Dieu! qu'il la fait bon regarder!; Quant j'ai ouy le tabourin; and Yver, vous n'estes qu'un villain. On this one I'm especially looking for help with speaking and interpreting the French.
As always, any tips/advice one could give me would be greatly appreciated.
