Hi Phliggiez,

I hope your spring breaks have been exhilarating, restful, and inspiring. I
am beyond excited to see your beautiful faces in one week and wanted to
send this in preparation for a pretty intense five weeks when we return.

Without further ado, here's the final (I hope) Everglow arrangement. HUGE
ups to Ian for helping out a ton with syllables, and I'm hyped to sing this
with y'all. Two quick notes (but this is like those shitty problem sets
where one of the notes has oh so many parts hehe oops):

1. When it says "sim." in the syllables that means "similar" (or maybe an
Italian version of that or something) to the syllables that came before,
not actually the sound "sim." If this is obvious then I apologize for
wasting your time, but it took me a while so I wanted to share the learning.

2. RED PARTS (They're actually green and even orange at one point now but
this is what we call it): There are quite a few "extra" parts in this song.

   - The sops are split in the intro; I think y'all are on top of this.
   - The repeated 4-part red part (e.g. at measure 17) will be the four
   other seniors: Grasop, Calto, Rari (really this is tenor range but you're
   singing bari and I wanted it to be in your staff), and Matibass (lol)
   - During the chorus there's an alto red part — I'd say everyone assume
   you're not the red part, we might split or one of you will be a red part
   but it's trivially easy I hope.
   - The bridge (starts at measure 134) is a SHITSHOW! Haha sorry folks.
   Prolly would have been better to write this as eight-part a la Sarah but I
   didn't. Anyways, maybe ignore this for now, or learn the normal parts (blue
   in MuseScore) if you're feeling sendy.

I think that's all. Thanks for bearing with me on this. Please let me know
if any of this is confusing or if you have questions about the
arrangement. Ideally, people can look at this over the next few days so we
can really jump in when we're back on campus! As a kind of bottom line, if
any part seems weird it might help to listen to the recording; this
basically exactly follows the recording (full version, not radio edit).

Love forever,
Ari
