Hello David, If they were asking for St.Matthews Passion, you would probably send a blank tape, would you, or for Mozarts Requiem ????

I am preparing a taped audition which includes only excerpts. I feel more comfortable leaving out the specifics, as it is very possible that others on this list are taking the same audition. Several of the excerpts mailed to me have instructions which say to "play between rehearsal marking X to rehearsal marking Y". But these have sections in between the solo measures which are long rests or simple tutti horn sections (whole notes). On the recording, should I count out the rests exactly and play the tutti parts too ? Or does the committee just want to hear the solo material? Should I compromise and play everything, but skip over the long rests? My instinct is too play everything per the instructions, but including the rests the section is several minutes long, with only about 6 measures of solo stuff and seems like a waste of the comittee's time to listen through. Thanks a lot, David Meichle Lawrence University WI David Meichle Lawrence University WI ____________________________________________________________ _ Are you safe?
