Kennedy Singers: Please listen to this with your music in front of you. It is missing th last couple of pages, but you will be able to hear the transitions & patterns. If, for some reason, the link doesn't work, go to treble clef press & you will be able to find this by title on the left sidebar.
Hint: tomorrow, I will likely hear trios sing/speak their rhythms at the transition on pages 7 & 8.

I felt that all of the examples were good in there own way but example #3 was the strongest and example #1 was the weakest.
ReplyDeleteI almost chose example #2 as the strongest due to the video quality of #3 but after overlooking that, I decided #3 was the best. Example #3 gave me everything that I expected out of the Bach piece. The sounds were a darker color and you could tell that it was performed by a more experienced choir. I felt that the tempo was good and all of the voices mixed well. I also really liked the accompaniment of #3.
Example #1 was the weakest because you could tell that they were a younger choir and I envisioned a very light color as I was listening to the piece. It was good that it sounded angelic but I feel that a darker, richer sound would better suit the piece. In addition, I didn't really like the accompaniment of the first example.
Despite it being a childrens choir, example #2 was able to sound darker than the first example. I liked them because they were able to sound angelic and bold at the same time. I think that they need to refine their entrences and exits to make them more defined. In addition, I think that they shold lift their soft palates to create a fuller, richer sound but still keep the angelic tone.
