Bach Orchestra

A Rhythm A Week Unit 33

High Tech Book p. 28, #14 Two Czech Songs

1. 29, #18, #19

Sacred Settings:

1. 12  Amazing Grace             Keep your bow moving slow and heavy on long notes.  Don’t let the sound die away on long tied notes (ms. 7-8 and ms. 15-16)
2. 14  Nearer My God to Thee            Count the measures with the rests so that the long note gets 3 whole beats, then taper off. (ms. 4, ms. 8, and ms. 16)
3. 22 Ave Verum Corpus         We will practice this one with parts only.  I Violin=A part, II Violin=B part, Viola=C part, Cello=D or E part, and Bass=E part

Bonus Question:  How much of a beat does a dotted eighth note get?  Look at ARAW Unit 33 if you need a hint.
