FIDDLER CUTS/CHANGES 7/10/09

#2
-mm 1 through the third to last bar repeat (vamp)

#3a
-mm 3 through 17 repeat (vamp)

#8-m 8, put a very short fermata over beat 2

#12
-mm 2 through 13, repeat as a vamp. This will be used as scene change music and the first part of the scene. Do not play the repeat at m 13 until the final time through – then we move on.

We will play the entirety of #12 again after the scene without repeats. The final two bars will still be repeated.

#13

#24
-m 42, make the third beat a half note and remove the final rest (this will still have a fermata and lead into m 43)
-m 50, put small fermata over beats 2, 3 and 4

After this song, we will play m 39 to the end without any cezuras/fermatas/breaks/etc. as scene change music. If more time, we will move onto the first four bars of #25.

#25
-put a pause between m 4 and m 5. We will start playing at m 5 after dialogue.

CUT the whole number

#29
-mm 1 through 10 repeat as a vamp

#33

Hello, all. Here is a list that includes all changes we've made to the music so far. Sorry for missing a few last time. There are a lot and it looks daunting, but the list includes every little added detail (fermatas, cezuras, etc.). Hope this helps.

-play mm 47 through 55, then jump back to m 36 (NOT m 37).
-play mm 36 through 45. Cut the downbeat of measure 36 this time
-a pause replaces m 46 (the singer will hold a note during our pause)
-play mm 56 to the end. Cut beat 1 from measure 56.
