THANK YOU...

... choir council! You put on a wonderful retreat. It was inspired, authentic, and fun. It would not have happened without your hard work (which isn't totally finished yet, btw). Pictures to follow, but in the meantime, get some rest and know that you are appreciated by some wonderful high school students, parents, and the best "Dougie-ing" teacher you know.

The Angel Gabriel

This isn't the exact same arrangemement that we are singing, but wow! Listen to the beautifully arched phrases, look at those vowels, and the pure blend... this is what it is all about! What gorgeous singing!

Samba Mass

The video of the "Samba Mass" that I shared in class today can be found here. I hope it helps you practice!

Excalibur Homework #1

I like the balance of this group, but wish they could have done more with dynamics and phrasing. Leave your comment below for credit!

Excalibur Homework #2

A bland video, but this is the Robert Shaw festival singers. He's the conductor who had his choirs countsing until right before performance because he wanted vertical accuracy... and they sang "tee" instead of "three." Be sure to comment for credit!

Excalibur Homework #3

This will wake you up! I really hope you have your music in front of you for this one... Again, comment for credit!

Retreat Forms...

...are due by this Friday, October 15. Come join the fun!
