Song For The Mira

[shnickyzzzzz]

Im singing this in Choir. It sucks ASS to get the rhythm down. The song sounds good when its finished and people KNOW how to sing it. But, when they don't (my choir), its terrible.

[Songstation505]

OMG do not clap like that in the middle of a song :(

IExcept that and that it was a bit fast, I LOVED it! They sing great.

[plentypeas]

i have to disagree with some people. i like it slower :) it reminds me of wheat blowing in the wind

[TheRealDealKenzie]

i remember singing this song when i was in 4th grade with the north side singer it was such a great song my favorite we actually sang

[pissinthenightaway2]

Hate Polkadots...,but it sounds good!

[osh0011]

i just spent the last 45 minutes trying to write out the oboe part for clarinet by ear.

[dranak3]

Very well done. Great soloists!! Many people say it's too fast but that's about the speed I did it with my choir and I prefer it like that. I feel it flows better!

[jimmyalankevin]

@dranak3 A lot of people find this speed too fast, but this is about the speed indicated on the music, 112-120. I sorta like it fast too :D

[pissinthenightaway2]

@jimmyalankevin This is a nice speed, it rolls sort of like rolling waves.

[shadowstar65]

this sounded amazing!!

[MyUndeadFate]

5th throught 8th...? o_O

too fast.

[Amdog11]

this is waaay too fast.. but they're good.

[musicworld95]

thats funny we sang this song

but we made it a whole lot slower

[johneee3]

I love this song. I first heard it at the end of the movie MARION BRIDGE. All three of the principle actresses sang a verse. It was beautiful. I'd like to hear that version if anyone has it.

[sidsean]

i am in 8th grade my the choir teacher asked me to play the oboe part and ive only been playing for 2 years i so worried im going to screw up any suggestion

[paitoven007]

holy cheese nips!!!!

i wasn't even born when they did this!

5 STARS....especially for the first soloist

[AlveusSarah]

This song annoys me like crazy.

Were doing it for choir.

I have a solo but to be honest its pretty boring.

Hahaaa

[shoptilidrop1994]

I LOVE this song...I'm singing it in chorus...I'm totally gonna try out for the solo. :)

[demifanandancefan]

i don't like this song but im singing this song in chorale

[rockymountainlass]

I'm singing all of the solos for this with my schools choir... Its such a beautiful song!!!

[MarcusSebastian2001]

Wow, I sung this song in college!

[Hauuauuauuu]

My high school choir is singing this, it's beautiful c:

oh, but this version is waaaay too fast, lol.

[maddiehyh]

my choir is singing this and i have to be honest i don't really like this song.....

[JVonStrangle]

I know what you mean.

It's pretty and all but it can get annoying.

[OMGTouche]

Ahh ;)

We sang this for my honor choir too! We had a student oboist too. We had 4 solos and I got the first song.

Its a really pretty song :)

[OMGTouche]

*I got the first solo

[iceman9786]

My choir sang this with an 8th grade oboist, and we added an extra solo.

[deuceswyld]

This needs to be slowed down to about 120bpm, but it's a gorgeous song.

[GamerEmpire9]

Weird, when we did it we had 2 solos and it wasn't this fast. Must have been taught different or its a different copy. I think both solos where printed as optional.

[RebelxxxAngel]

yay!

i hope it sounds like this when my chorus sings it next month.

=]

[nerdyjimmy]

This is amazing! I love listening to the second chorus over and over again.

[campres]

I agree that it's too fast...drop the speed by 25% and it's perfect! That being said they do a great job (especially considering their age!)...and I do feel like I shouldn't be criticising someone like Jean Ashworth Bartle!!

[ghinga7girl]

tempo is waaay too fast, it sounds rushed.

Job well done though :)

[Lessthan454]

It sounds rushed because it's syncopated. The rhythm is made like that...it's the correct tempo. I do agree it's well sung.

[KBirdMaster]

the tempo is correct im singing it in choir

[CaptianClueless]

It's fast by about 1/18 of a beat. My choir added more solos though. It's very well sung.

[jeriann09]

but i don't like the soloist they sound like their in a opra but the choir is excelent

[dthomas1969]

@jeriann09 Where you trying to spell Oprah or opera? I just wondered because if you meant opera it would be...."they sound like the they're in an opera, but the choir is excellent."

Try spell checking before posting illiterate remarks.

[jeriann09]

i am doing a solo on this song in my choir, but when i do the chorus we changed it to our language then the rest in english

[cbc21492]

^ i agree! nice soloists, a bit fast, but very impressive techniques, although it is an honors choir. overall good.

[maestro024]

Don't clap after a solo unless it's jazz!!! When is someone going to educate the public about classical music!!???
