David and the Philistine

Tonight we practiced the music from this post. We decided the idea of drone using tone colour to distinguish voices was too complex and would take too much work for the time available.  I have updated the earlier post with comments on the rehearsal and an mp3 with comments which I did after the rehearsal. The music is of considerable dramatic interest and has structural elements that indicate an awareness of the repeated use of accents in the text as adornments for the tone and meaning of the words.
