I love this file because it's hard to start a song with enough air and support on "ah" to make it song good. Lol, we tried! Eventually our director pushes us on through and the resolution at the end is one of my favorite things about this song.

the other things I noticed about this song is that it's really important for everyone to keep their eyebrows up so that you don't go flat, lol. This particular read was a slog. But lord, did that song sound magnificent when we performed it.
I also liked that halfway through, you could hear the director say "look at me." Lol, all singers are notorious for super focusing on the music to the detriment of the sound. We're always worried we're about to sing the wrong thing!
