OU Choir rehearsal layout for Spem and Gabrieli

The room will be laid out with approximately 12 chairs for each Spem choir, which I imagine will normally be enough until the later stages of the rehearsal run. I don’t intend to rotate the choirs as I did in the autumn, so this will remain the order and layout throughout the term. We will, however, have to change places at some point in most rehearsals so that we can rehearse the Gabrieli (or vice versa).

For rehearsal purposes the Gabrieli will be laid out as below. The number of people allocated to each group of a dozen seats is roughly the same as for Spem, but you will have to get used to the particular move you have to make and I hope we can learn to do this efficiently.

SPEM / Choir 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
GABRIELI / Choir 1
Sops / Choir 1
Altos / Choir 3 / Choir 2
Tenors
Sops / Choir 2
Basses
Altos

When we get to SMSG this will be reinterpreted in relation to the characteristics of that particular building, so Gabrieli Choirs 1 and 2 will be one on each side of the gallery and Choir 3 will be on the ground – as we did it in 2010 and you may remember if you were there.
