“The Star-Spangled Banner” notes:
-phrases for the first section (mm. 1-16ish) are nearly 4 measures long (i.e., there is no breath after “see” in meas. 2, but there is a breath after “light” in meas. 4).
-“light” (meas. 4) and “bright” (meas. 12) are quarter notes now, so we can get an appropriate amount of breath in before the next note.
-please pronounce the word “perilous” as: “peh-rih-luss”.
-Altos and Sopranos: “and the” at the end of meas. 16 are just even eighth notes – there is no dotted rhythm there!! It’s a very common mistake.
-please write a small fermata in over the word “O!” in meas. 24. We want to make the most of that chord.
-Concert Attire-
