I had to sing the first soprano in this song when I was in Glee (Chorus basically) at Clemson University, SC. It was my favorite song of the collection we performed. :)
The sop ones sound really tight, I would know b'cos I'm in a choir and I am a sop 1. And the vowels are not deep enough, so you guys are not blending properly. Anyway, good try(:
beautiful sound....vowels are spread, high notes sounded kind of forced and through the throat, but over all incredible job, i love listening to this. very good job. keep singing!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yall SUCK! at this peice and i kno cuz our chorus sings it way better we actually round our vowels and at the end it is supposed to sound like rain but yall are not pronounciating right and accenting on the ts (just some helpful hints on this peice) and yall r off on some notes
but sadly our womens choir didnt do this song for region, i was in mixed :) 16th chair haha barely made it! the whole dorchester canticles is amazing :)......and freshman rule!
we sang that this year at all region, i <3'd it..unfortunately i only made the women's and not the mixed, since they take the top 16 and i got 18th, therefore i will not be moving on...but its ok, i have 3 more tries! i'm a freshman..and soprano 1's are the bomb btw! :)
And about the song, it was a little slower than I would have taken it. I can barely hear the piano, and nice English Horn! Alot of spread sounds too. Otherwise a great performance!!
look, I appreciate your comments but please keep them nice and/or constructive. We worked very hard to get into this choir and worked even harder for the concert so please respect that.
I can't wait till our region auditions. We're not doing this one, but I remember singing this learning it during the summer. Its such a beautiful song.
@renthead1989 There's nothing wrong with constructive criticism to keep in mind for the future to give you an even better sound. I would be grateful for it. It doesn't mean you didn't work hard and it isn't already beautiful, but there is always room for improvement.
hmm...this group doesn't really give this song the justice it deserves. vowels and such...but the song itself. ooooooh. *chill* creepy goodness. yay Texas All-State! Here I come!
ohh we are doing this song in our bella voce. we've only learned up to calling at grey moon rise. but im a soprano 1 and im soo excited, its such a beautiful song. (:
im learning the song too and it sounds great. it doesnt sound too abrupt for the style and it doesnt sound harsh at all.... oh and its a big help too.
The Texas All-State Women's Choir is singing this piece this year at TMEA. But no offense, but this choir does not sound like "all-state" quality - more like region or district. I love this piece, but I just wasn't feeling it.
I agree. I was too unfortunate to get to sing in the Texas All-State Choir because of my conflicts, but my friend is. The piano part of this song is just crazy.
SO AM I!!! How exciting! This is probably the best song in all 9 songs. I love it. I sing Alto and it's so much fun, I love the lowest note... Even though I'm the only Alto 1 who can hit it. xD
my middle school chorus sang this song at a competetion and we won best middle school chorus out of 47 chorus who entered! and we got all superiers at Festival!
ok so i jst went to a choir camp in austin at ut and dis is a choice for da all state process so we sang it and it is an AMAZING song and i love it like soooo much
Yea everyones learning it, Im going to camp at Texas State University for All-State. Im trying to get a head start by looking at all the music and how people sing it. Good luck to all yall auditioning.

I'm so proud to consider myself a soprano for this piece especially.♥
So far from what we've learned it's been magnificently beautiful.
Our stopping point so far is at "Grey moon rise" before the piano stops.
