Hotaru Koi
I think conducting this piece was more of a challenge than I thought. While yes, I could go on auto pilot and conduct a 4 pattern the whole way through, it is difficult to remember which part comes in when and you could get completely lost. I had the benefit of already singing this piece in high school and also being able to conduct a bit of it when I was at Champlin Park so I didn't think it went too poorly. I meet with Peter Haberman this Friday and I hope to see if he has any new techniques that I can use also to help from creating so much upward tension.
