We will split up for parts of the rehearsal as the Alto Rhapsody is for men’s voices only while the Messe des pêcheurs de Villerville is for women’s voices only. The Te Deum has no alto part as written so the sopranos will be singing the choir I soprano part and the altos will be singing the choir II soprano part.
