Thanks everyone for your continued hard work and seriousness of purpose. There is still a long way to go with our recitatives, but having worked through everything at this point puts us in a great position to sculpt and polish them as we continue. I will collect reports from Carroll and Patrick to determine where our greatest efforts are needed with regard to recits, and will try to carve out some extra time as we proceed to bring up to speed those that are perhaps struggling a bit more than others. Again, do not put these recitatives on the shelf. Continue to work slowly and precisely with the language. A few people are still more interested in speed than they are in accuracy. Bad habits learned now will be very difficult to fix later. Just be patient but also diligent and you will find yourself enjoying recitatives once they become more comfortable.
As for next week, we will start to turn our attention more towards music with some aria work on Monday and run throughs of the rest of the material on Wednesday and Friday.
