WC (Women's Chorale) updates 9/28/15
Text correction in Dufay "Gloria" - m.27 (top part) and m.28 (bottom part) - the word should be "peccata," not "pacatta."
CHB (Chamber)
Antonio Dowling found this terrific BBC documentary about Tomas Luis de Victoria - check it out!

Feel that you need a bit more help working with rhythms? I'll post exercises for specific pieces, of course - but if you would prefer to start from scratch, looky here:

For non-English language texts: Go into the translation page, study the translation and WRITE IT in your music, preferably near the text to which it refers.
ALL
Page turns! - One way to deal is to extend the staff lines out far enough to write in the first note after the page turn.
"Which is my part?!" - Highlight the clef of your part in each system, or mark it with a star, or some such. Don't highlight the entire part - you need that highlighter for other things (see my first post on score preparation).

WC: More work with compound duple (6/8) and compound triple (9/8), skip down to Lesson 14:
WC - Help with Telfer
6/8 - "compound duple" - there are 6 eighth notes (or anything that will add up to six eighth notes) in each measure. Dotted quarter note is worth 3 eighths. Dotted half note is worth 6 eighths. If a note is tied to another note, add the values together to determine how much time.
Two "big" beats (dotted quarter notes), each divided into three smaller parts (eighth notes).
9/8 - "compound triple" - there are 9 eighth notes (or anything that will add up to nine eighth notes) in each measure. Dotted quarter note is worth 3 eighths. Dotted half note is worth 6 eighths. If a note is tied to another note, etc.
Three "big" beats (the dotted quarter notes), each divided into three smaller parts (eighth notes).
AN IDEA - try and see if this works for you!
Take 1 sheet of paper and cut or tear it into many small pieces, at least 50 or 60 pieces.
On each piece, write a note (or notes) or a rest value: write each thing on several slips.
Whole note
Dotted half note
Half note
Half rest (this SITS on the 3rd line)
Dotted quarter note
Quarter note
Quarter note rest (bird flying sideways)
Pair of eighth notes
Single eighth note (lovely little "flag" attached)
Pair of sixteenth notes
Three eight notes together
Time signature - 6/8
Time signature - 9/8
"Tie" symbol
"Barline" symbol
I'm still figuring out the image posting procedure here - please REFER TO THE TERMINOLOGY SHEETS IN YOUR SYLLABUS IF YOU NEED PICTURES!
Now, take out your Telfer.
Using the music as a guide, arrange some of your itty bitty papers to form the rhythmic pattern for various measures.
Then clap and count "ta ta ta"
