Hippolyte et Aricie

---------------------------

CHORUS INFO

We are singing in French.
We are singing at A = 415 (i.e. a semitone below modern pitch)

Score:

We are using this score: http://www.peterfender.co.uk/sites/default/files/page/Rameau_H_Et_A.pdf (don't use other scores please).
I will provide choral scores for everyone for the first rehearsal, but you are welcome to print and create your own score if you would like and if you do that PLEASE LET ME KNOW so I don't print an extra one for you!  If you want to print only the chorus pages I can supply you with a list.

Please note that alto parts are written an octave higher than sung.  Some alto parts go quite low and the tenors may be asked to help out.  Also the tenor part sometimes goes high and the altos may be asked to help out there!
