A Girl's Garden, by UMass Women's Choir

[WrittenintheSkies]

I actually think the speed is a astounding. We watched this earlier today, our teacher saying we'd be singing it, so I came home and looked it up. It would be an honor to do this piece, except our teacher wants us to slow it down, and I think it should stay were it is. :x

[VenaeHayes]

umm .. choir did very well on the diction .. some parts like when you say farm needs emphasis added to it .. then at the end when you say advice .. theres an S sounds ,kinda like a hissing sound.. put a T on the end of advice so its advit so it wont make so much of a hissing noise/also so it wont sound like your carrying/ dragging the note on more than you should .. but still really good .. just some suggestions that would make it perfect .. sand this song as a freshmen at ballard(Louisville)

[HowlingInSorrow]

Choir performed it a few days ago.... now we're going to perform with this song again very soon. Love this song, love this poem. Love the music and i feel sorry for our piano player haha.

[clemluvr4evr]

my choir will be performing this at our south carolina state competition on Friday & i am very excited!!

[RachandBrit2009]

I seriously just raped the replay button.

I did this song a couple years ago and I'm totally in love with it again!

[musicallytwilight]

My womans chorus is doing this song this year! Its really fun!!

[itsallaboutme0423]

Worst vowels I've ever heard.

[isabellabliss]

haha true but it doesn't sound too horrible though, at least there's good diction

[byrdsmaniac]

@itsallaboutme0423 What a cheap shot! The song, by it's very nature, defies clear enunciation, but I suppose it does afford the likes of you an opportunity to diss the abilities of the choir. I doubt that you could do any better.

[isabellabliss]

i love the "why not"

[DR0PD3ADmv]

@isabellabliss If you mean the part where they do the slide, it's "I know"

[luciaprada]

There is a "why not"...

[isabellabliss]

why not @ 0:29

[isabellabliss]

I studied this song and preformed it (:

[rachelhanauer]

Yes its DJ :) Deanna Joseph conducting. I loved this women's choir... Deanna was the best.

It's not too fast. This was actually a bit slower than the marked tempo.

[lexithethespian]

..i feel like I know who this conductor is. DJ?!

[CourtneyXOCooties]

Wow thats such a good piano player you got!

[boymeetsworldfan1]

i'm singing this in choir for the spring concert. i had to look it up. and wow. way faster then we're singing. and these girls are awesome.

[kmrollings]

great voice.

my chamber choir at school

is singing this and while we use

a little slower tempo, these women

are verryy good :)

[TheRANDOMgirlzShoww]

OMG i have to sing this with my choir, for competition and we dont even know all the words... WOW these guys are GOOD

[MuzzaGirl]

Yeah, my choir class is singing this and I LLLLOOOOVVVVEEE this song, but it really is just a bit too fast at THIS tempo

[xoF4BULuSox]

Its not meant to be sung this fast it sounds as if they were rushing through it. Over all I think they sounded great.

[herohearts]

actually, that's the originally planned tempo for the song, but some slow it down to make it a little simpler

[buzzbaybear]

This is the correct tempo- just most accompanists can't manage it.  Great playing!

[aimeethehut]

I really like this! I loved the crispness on "not nice load."

[violinchic520]

its supposesd to be this fast, or as fast as it started, the pianist is rushing like hell

[ebbcgltd101]

I am in middle school and we performed this at this tempo I liked a lot more than when we did it slower in rehearsal...

[babblequeen1993]

im doing this in my choir @ AHS!!! great job, I know how difficult this is, expecially for sop1's like me!

[xXinsanity92Xx]

I sang this in all-region choir in 7th grade. We took it way slower though..

[Supadupa837]

The tempo is a little fast for me, but otherwise a really great job!

[luciaprada]

Thank you :-)

[jessicolombis]

Honestly, i dont really like it. It goes to fast it seems like theyre rushing. Also they need taller vowels, they sound like a fifth grade choir . No offense, just costructive critacism

[xXBillieizehgodXx]

very good! i like it :)

The tempo's a bit faster than what i'm singing in my choir class. it's really good though.

Robert Frost is a great poet ^__^

[Rihsa]

Awesome song! The choir I'm in will be singing the song for Choral Festival.

[elfiyero]

we're singing this song and it is not my favourite, but that's because we sing it a lot to get it perfect. i really do like the tempo though.

[arkibet]

yeah! Nice tempo! Great feeling. Love it :)

[michellebellx]

i sang this in all county in 8th grade, i never realized robert frost wrote the poem! i just studied him in school.

[luciaprada]

Yeah, he wrote it, and actually dedicated to the town of Amherst! He lived there :-)

[musicalexleon]

Hola Prada!

Home, tu dire no es Joaquín Valdeón y os falta esa potente cantidad de machos españoles de bajos (y casi-hombres de tenores) pero suena guay. Gran inglés. ¿Pasó Stephanie por allí también para enseñaros, eh?
