ERRATA for VEDEM ORATORIO and VEDEM SONGS.
JUST A LITTLE WARMTH:
39-40, violin — the octave may be incorrect in some versions. The phrase starts on a B a 7th above middle C and continues in that register until 41.
In THOUGHTS:
53, the F# should be up an octave, and 15 should be completely slurred.
Change original tempo to quarter=92; also change marking to 92 at 32.
82 add forte to Mezzo and Clarinet and Piano in full score.
88 remove metronome marking.
In FAREWELL TO SUMMER:
34-36, piano, Right Hand: The A in the chord should be an A#.
69-70, piano, Left Hand: the Abs should be tied across the bar line .
