Dirait-on Pronunciation

Thanks to chorus member Christine Sparfel, a pronunciation recording for Dirait-on now is posted on the practice track page at: https://acithaca.org/groups/voices/music-files-for-practice/dirait-on/

Also, as Ross makes vocal assignments during rehearsal, notes are added to the appropriate practice track pages and tracks are updated accordingly. Miss a rehearsal? Checking the practice pages can fill in some blanks.
