Belle Voci Practice Links

Ask your student which part they sing - half the club is "Part 1" or "Top part," the other half is "Part 2" or "Bottom part." A singer who is Part 1 on Star in the East will be Part 2 on Shiru L'adonai, and vice nersa!

LYRICS

Star in the East
Hail the blest morn! See the great mediator
Down from the regions of glory descend
Shepherds, go worship the babe in the manger;
Lo, for his guard the bright angels attend.

Refrain:
Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid;
Star in the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer was laid.

Say shall we yield him in costly devotion,
Odors of Eden, and off’rings divine,
Gems from the mountain, and pearls from the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine?

[Refrain]

Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gold we his favor secure.
Richer by far is the heart's adoration,
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

[Refrain]

Shiru L’Adonai

Sheeru l’Adoshem kol ha-aretz, sheer chadash

 

Q1W2

This week, 2nd grade defined the word "beat" and looked at how to divide beats into groups with bar lines. 3rd-5th grade reviewed the anatomy of the staff, and practiced drawing different notes of rhythm on both lines and spaces, as well as reviewed the values of each note. All grades were introduced to their "passport to history" project and filled in their passports (next week, we go to ancient Greece!). 2nd grade began learning "First Flakes," 3rd grade "O Come, O Come Emmanuel," 4th grade "Galop," and 5th grade learned all of the Hebrew for "Numi, Numi" and the Spanish for "A la Media Noche."

Q1W1 - First Week!

The first week went very well! Students were introduced to basic classroom procedures, as well as refreshed on sight-reading (in 2nd grade's case, introduced to it). The upcoming mandatory concerts were discussed as well. Next week, we will be able to dive into more content.

Students may begin listening to their class's concert music (on the right of this page, scroll down) if they wish to get a head start.
