Rehearsal Explained: Mozart - Requiem
1. Take notice to make pure, clean vowels and to emphasize consonants, especially the initial ones.
2. Mozart's requiem contains a lot of polyphonic sections, therefore each part has its own line. While some parts are singing vowels, the others are producing consonants, which seem like ornaments of the vowels. Clear consonants and pure vowels would illuminate the polyphony.
3. To produce clear consonants, some tiny modifications may apply:
No.4 Rex Tremendae (m.11-12)
No.8 Domine Jesu! (m.66-67)
No.10 Sanctus (m.5-6)
Original Performed
