If you are planning to sing, please reply via email (waso@muzen.com) with the following information: • Name • Address • Email Address • Voice part (please indicate first soprano, second soprano, etc.) • Vocal level of proficiency:
a. Not singing regularly
b. Regular choir singer
c. Semi-professional
d. Professional When we have received your information, for optimal distribution of singers throughout the double choruses of the motet, you will be assigned to either Chorus I or Chorus II. Many of you know that had you asked William Appling, “Which chorus will I be singing
in?” his response would have been direct, silent and meaningful. You would then realize that you’d better be prepared for either! While preparing for both choruses may not be possible for everyone, it will be immensely helpful if those who are able to prepare to sing in either chorus do so. This will provide invaluable flexibility to Mr. Jennings in balancing the double choirs. All choristers, however, will initially be assigned to Chorus I or Chorus II.
