After Kevin opened the door to memorizing Bernstein, John helped analyze
the form and sent this to the basses, I TRULY feel it will help all
sections.
I printed it. please singers, bring it with you TUES... if you can not
print it, ask Pam our fabulous secretary. before MONDAY NIGHT.

Following Rex's example, I have tried to make memorizing the Bernstein
pieces easier by writing out the lyrics and then looking for patterns in
our notes.
I've attached a filel in rich text format that breaks the lyrics into
sections or macros (if I am using Judi's term correctly). There are only 4
of them. What I've labelled A is essentially the refrain. What I've
marked as A- is the same as A but a lower by a a note. Same for C and C+,
which is a note higher. Bold face type is the bass part;unbolded are the
other voices.
Hope this helps.
John
