An audio CD for your section and a list of the tracks thereon will be given out in class in week 2.

Rehearsing At Home with Your Audio CD:
Your audio CD contains two kinds of sound files: synthesized MIDI rehearsal tracks for your section's parts and recordings from the 1968 Broadway cast album of Hair.

On the MIDI tracks, you will hear your part as a synthesized oboe and louder than the others (soloists' parts will sound like a flute). These rehearsal tracks also include a metronome beat. Warning: these MIDI tracks may contain some minor errors! Be alert: compare them to your score and what you hear in class.

Though it can be useful just to listen, study your audio CD with the printed music to learn your part. You will find that your "just listening" sessions are more helpful when you've also studied the printed score, and the audio recording will help you read the printed music more accurately. The recordings from the Broadway cast album of Hair are included to give you a sense of the tempo, style, emotional content, and overall feeling of the music.
