how did you do the drawings?

[dwsolo]

@12783USAGRL Hi, the original drawing was a caricature by a street artist called Dale (I've tried to contact him but in vain). The cartoon animation was done by a friend, David Marsh who has a large number of cartoons online at smce[hyphen]cartoon[dot]wikisp­aces[dot]com

The soloist got it all wrong .

For the use of SATB choirs who wish to use a midi file for practice purposes, I have now included a midi file in the myscorestore page (free download)

Ugh, my choir is learning this now. lol.

It's a "wonderful" song. Unfortunately for ME (who is in the process of getting past 7 days) this recording isn't in the key we sing it in.

This is in C, but our sheet music is in E. D: What a bummer x(

@notnsanetoothpick Hi - will a midi file in the key you are doing it be of any use to you? Let me know your email address (via the YouTube messaging service) and I'll send you one. I'll be interested to hear yuor choir sing it in due course :-)

[notnsanetoothpick]

@dwsolo i sent you a reply in messages. My Vocal Teacher, Cherryl Valentine greatly appreciates it and she said we will be sure to give you a copy of the finished product. : ) now, i just have to past my test on it tomorrow ._.

[dwsolo]

@notnsanetoothpick Best wishes for that :-)

David, has this work ever been commissioned by a choir? Would love to hear a recording of this song with a real choir.

[dwsolo]

@kyrio5a Hi Hendra In fact it was sung last Christmas by a group in Wisconsin - I await the recording :-)

[notnsanetoothpick]

@kyrio5a If my choir successfully learns this song, I'd be more than happy to get a vid up here, or if one of my friends puts the video up, I'll let you know. : ) just comment me after you read this.

[kyrio5a]

@notnsanetoothpick Oh, that'll be great! Thanks
