Details and scores
First half
- Poulenc: Un soir de neige —
— 1. — 2. — 3. — 4. - Macmillan: O radiant dawn —
- Quartel: A winter’s day —
Second half
- Tallis: O nata lux de lumine —
- Divides altos (notice A2 is written an octave higher, as if it were a tenor line)
- Tallis: Te lucis ante terminum —
- Byrd: Laudibus in sanctis —
- Karlsson: Gøta —
- The small notes in S1 are alternatives, not divisi (so top line is 1 singer)
- Carter: The lark in the clear air —
- Solo soprano: Émilie
- Notice weird distribution of parts over staves later on
- Porter / Blackwell: Let’s do it —
- Shearing: Blow, blow, thou winter wind —
- Piano: David
- Mäntyjärvi: Pseudo-Yoik —
- OK this one is a faff
- From the beginning to bar 23: T1 sings tenor line alone, T2 sings bass. When basses divide into 2, let’s have 2 basses on low note and 1 bass (i.e. T2) on upper note. When basses divide into 3, obviously one singer per part (T2, B1, B2)
- For the bits where it divides into 11 (bars 24–31 and 56–63): Here, T2 reverts to singing tenor. On both soprano and tenor lines, disregard the D. On the bass line, disregard the middle A
- For the rest: sing as written. At the end, everyone gets the “nh”, not just the altos and basses please!
