MUS 324: Advanced Choral Conducting

Assignment #3/Baroque

Please prepare the following: 

From movement # 3 (Quia respexit) of the Bach Magnificat, please prepare from measure 17 to the end, which proceeds directly to movement #4, Omnes generations.

Please note that the solo is to be conducted in a subdivided 8, and the following chorus is a tempo where the eighth note of the solo now equals the quarter note of the chorus.

Movement #7 (Fecit potentiam) is straight forward; we will cover all cues/character in class.
