Now It Falls ~ Alto Part

This video is for Georgi, Michelle, and all of the other ladies who are on stage during this song: Lily, Lucy, Polly, Sally, Genevieve, Stella, Bessie, Lottie, Peggy, Jo, Beatrice, Elizabeth, Cordelia, Camellia.  (Kathryn and Ann leave the stage before the song begins.)

The reason this video concerns all of you ladies, is that you'll be joining in on "Now It Falls" for the last chorus.  You will sing these lines (along with Barnes & Gilbody) right before Stella's spoken line:

"We built it up, through the years,
Built it up, sweat and tears.
Built it up, we did it all, we built it up.
But now it falls." (end of song)

The first time the chorus is sung, only Barnes & Gilbody are singing.

The following video has an alto focus.  That doesn't mean I want all of the ladies to sing alto on that last chorus.  I would like for some of you ladies to sing the melody (which you can hear pretty well on the rehearsal CD) and some of you to sing the alto (what you'll hear in this clip).  So, go ahead and practice both ways, and I'll let you pick which one you like better.  I might need to move one or two of you to a different part, depending on the balance that we have when we try it.  Have fun!  And let me know if you have any questions.

Edited on February 11th to add:
All of you ladies will be singing BOTH times we do the chorus--not just the last time, as I had originally stated.  Thank you!
