'Tibi Dixit' -- it's quite a proclamation to begin the mass. (The opening figure has a special resonance for me, as a former horn player.)
I'm curious to hear about how people handle it. Repercussion? Crescendo? Etc. (I'm aware of the discussion in the Liber of the tristrohpa, etc.; I'm curious how people proceed in practice, right now, or anyhow on Sunday.)
My conductor told us to hold on the first 4 and then pulse the last 3. It seems to work, but he moves it way too fast. If I had control I'd be singing all the repercussions.
