Hi. Thank you for your comment. It took me about a month to memorize, but I must have worked on it every single day for the whole month. I believe that if the singers have to memorize the text and music, then the conductor should too! What made it more of a challenge was that during that same month I was also preparing another performance of the Rite of Spring with the Danse Sacrale from memory too.
thank you!
I'm a pianist and I am going to play this recitative in the conduction class.
Thank you and congratulations
