Will practice make perfect?

We worked hard last Wednesday on the pieces of music that we know will be some of the work to be covered during the workshop on Feb 7th. Namely, La Gambara, La Ugona, If Ye Love Me, and Non Lo Diro Col Labbro . The latter has points where all four parts take a simultaneous rest.. so we can establish if we are together or not! Descants and Tenors have 2-3 bar rests, posing challenges regarding coming in at the correct point.. La Gambara is a super piece, but each of the four parts also has also has rests of a bar or more at differing points which means our counting has to be really good!
