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!

  9. I love how they arched their phrases and let their stagnant notes grow and crescendo, especially in the beginning when all voice parts came in.

    The sound was fuller because of the space. I thought the venue did interesting things to their vocals

  17. Oh! This this is the version I listened to at home. The sound is so grand and the parts are well organized.

  18. This group had very good dynamics and when different voice parts had a "run" as you called it you could tell they put a crescendo on it. The vowels were good as was the pitch accuracy. They also kept the tempo on track the entire song which in comparison, we tend to speed up halfway through the song.

  19. i am not going to be mean because the piece was great...but i swear i fell asleep during this song...the group sounded amazing, but i felt like it was a part of a LORD OF THE RINGS ending because it had that "sad" tone to it. Could it be a little bit happier sounding? just curious...decreshendoes and creshendoes (bad spelling) were amazing!
