Crucifixused!

I taught Crucifixus today for the first time today here in Indonesia, and although I foresaw the technical difficulty of the piece (especially because I wrote it), and am familiar with the vocal technique necessary to perform the piece effectively, I wasn't prepared for the "choir-having-to-get-used-to-the-syncopation" part and easily found it one of the most challenging pieces I taught at first sight!

I will not anymore mention conducting the 10/4 time and cueing the entrance of the tenors while shaping the lines of the basses and keeping the inner voices in correct rhythm.  So I'm rolling one partitur and hitting it on my head!

Here's to the other conductors who painstakingly (or effortlessly) taught their choirs my current best selling piece: Anna Tabita Piquero, Mark Anthony Carpio, Dr. Joel Navarro, and a couple hundred more conductors around the world.  Hats off to you guys, I was Crucifixused today! hahaha
