1. Overture
Starts in 2, tempo is dotted quarter = 126
At m. 33, I’ll go into 4 (tempo stays the same)
Repeat at m. 53 is good (repeat once, play 2x total)
The rall. in m. 68 is good, and it will be pretty significant
mm. 85 – 86 will stay in 4; don’t let the massive hemiola fool you. The repeat and accel. are also
good
Applause (hopefully) segue into next number
6. Bustopher Jones
Starts in 4; tempo is quarter = 110
m. 29 is held back slightly
pickup to m. 61 is held back even more!
m. 63 is Tempo I
the poco rubato in m. 92 is really on the back half of m. 91, I’ll start slowing on beat 3
add a caesura between m. 100 and 101
Applause segue to the next number
8. Old Deuteronomy
Will be in a slow 2; tempo is dotted quarter = 50
Flute solo has the pickups to m. 1 and is a solo until m. 5
I’ll go into 6 in m. 67, and m. 68 to the end will be slower and slightly colla voce
Applause segue to next number
The tempo starts to SLIGHTLY relax in m. 370, headed for quarter = 145 in m. 372
Rall in m. 393, leading to a new tempo in m. 394; dotted quarter = 72 (still in 4)
The accel really starts in m. 410, not m. 409.
The repeat is good, and the accel lasts all 4 bars of the repeat (2 bars x 2 times); I’ll try and stay
in 4 unless it messes everything up again (another heavy 3/2 hemiola)
NO rit at the end, but once we hit m. 412 – that’s the tempo
Applause segue to next number
(If you listen to the Broadway cast of this number – you’ll notice it now oddly matches. Huh.)
11. Grizabella, the Glamour Cat
Begins in 4; quarter = 65
Caesura in m. 12 is good
Watch out for mm. 13 – 25; it’s a landmine of fermatas
Repeat in m. 26 is good…. For now.
Tempo moves forward in m. 35, then a rall in m. 42, followed by a Tempo I in m. 43
Repeat at m. 51 is good
—INTERMISSION—
16. Macavity, the Mystery Cat (aka the only cat who doesn’t sing in the ENTIRE SHOW)
Begins in 4, quarter = 100
Suddenly faster in m. 11; quarter = 120
Big rall. in m. 19 is good
M. 20 is a measured bar where nothing happens
Back to Tempo I in m. 21
M. 24 is ALSO a measured bar where nothing happens
The 6 in m. 88 is a subdivided 3
Applause segue to next song
16a. Macavity Fight
Begins in 4; quarter = 86
We’ll push forward still in 4 at m. 7
M. 13 is subito quarter = 120
M. 24 is subito quarter = 160
M. 43 is subito dotted quarter = 43
In m. 67 beat 3 is a dead beat for dialogue, then flute solo on beat 4 before going into a slow 2
Applause (?) segue to next song
18. Memory
Begins in 2; dotted quarter = 60ish
Repeat in m. 9 is good (play 2x total)
The 10/8 in m. 14 will be in 4; 3+3+2+2
The repeat at m. 24 is good for now (dotted quarter = quarter)
Tempo pushes forward slightly at m. 45
Broadway broadening at mm. 71 -72 to a slightly slower tempo in m. 73
No break between m. 80 and m. 81
Applause segue to next song
19. Journey to the Heaviside Layer
Begins in 4; quarter = 90
(Does anyone else feel like this tune is our “Prominade from Pictures” theme?)
Repeat beginning in m. 5 is good for now
m. 9 is a subito faster tempo; quarter = 100
….. and the repeat is good.
The repeat at m. 13 is also good.
The rall in m. 24 is decently severe, going to a dotted quarter = 60 in m. 25
(This is where she “dies” and goes to the Heaviside Layer… yep, there’s death in the plotless
musical)
Big rall in m. 36 going to the Maestoso in m. 37
Direct segue (in strict time) to next song
20. The Ad-Dressing of Cats (I don’t know if the spelling is a pun, but I don’t get it)
Starts in 4; quarter = 80
If you have an errant caesura in m. 6, cross it out (stupid typos)
m. 36 pushes forward slightly
mm. 57 – 59 are very colla voce, then back to tempo at m. 60
m. 91 is NOT slower – dirty liars….
Add a good sized rall in m. 98
Applause segue to next number
21. Finale 1
Not the Finale – in fact is the bow music
Quarter = 148
Rall in m. 21 -22
Still in 4 at 23, but 3/2 hemiola is back
With a repeat
Direct segue to next number
23. Finale 4
I guess that it’s important enough to have its own number
Its Mistoffelees to Memory – I think we’ve got it at this point
This will be exit music
