Another great day the the St, Mark's CAO!
As you work on creating your librettos, keep in mind the different elements involved
CHORUS - the bigger songs where everyone sings. Particularly good for the moments of high emotion.
ARIA - A solo section or song
DUET - A section for two singers
DIALOGUE - Spoken words
UNDERSCORE - Music that is played under dialogue
MOVEMENT - sections of dance or choreographed movement, with or without music
STAGE DIRECTIONS - markings listed in brackets to tell actions.
And here's a list of everyone's CHORUSES/ARIAS/DUETS
Ms. Moore's Class
Just An Ordinary Day
Meteor Song
Transformation
The Battle (Zombies vs. Vampires)
Finale
Mr. Scicluna's Class
Whiny Complaining Song
War Song
Labour Song
Poverty Song
Understanding
Mr. Kennedy's Class
Mocking Song
Shock and Dismay
We did what we wanted/What did we do?
Finale
Ms. Sappong's Class
Funeral for Mr. Louis
Loner, get off the bus!
Disagreement Song
We're not so bad

MUSIC
So for next week, get those solid one-page librettos ready to go. If ANYONE has musical ideas over the next week, we'll listen and work on them when I'm in solo next Tuesday.
Thanks everyone. Another great class.
