WLW Choir - Concert Choir - The Pasture

[funnycow9]

Im doing this for chorus, really beautiful song, my chorus teacher said that it was his friends fav song in college, but on the way back from spring break that year, she was in the passenger seat of a car and died in a car accident. I honor this song because of this

[gilbertgrl627]

Very good, just sounds a little fast (for my taste, anyway). We sang this when I was either a junior or senior (1999 or 2000) and did it a little slower, with a full choir. I do have the recording of it (it was from State Festival- Florida) but no video.

[MrMatcool8]

My school's show choir is doing this song, we have a lot of work to make it sound better, but its coming together really well. Ur ensemble is very good, but the basses sound a little flat. Other than that, really great job! i hope you got a really good score!

[lntoxate]

We're doing this as a full choir concert. I might put it up XD

[uofallpeople1]

Rushed, and both parts need more support

[midgetmanBHS]

Brings back good honor choir memories. A little faster than we did it but still good.

[olimanrules]

I just finished singing this at Region Choir! :D

[emilyandmileyfan121]

We're singing this for choir and its so hard to sing it with a straight face on the guys' part lol..

[MusicIsLove1129]

i sang this at the University of Miami honor choir 2008. it was simply beautiful, just like these fine performers are.

[atiaraxox]

thats beautiful...a small group, but the voices are still balanced and powerful

[courtney4479]

We did this at music in may! it was amazing

[xandercutler]

guys need more open tone, better resonance, breath support.

[underworld026]

I like it. =]

[scenepants]

thats s\a smalll choir

[cravingdisaster]

Im doing this song along with lebenslut tomorrow for out evaluations. we're not singing it as fast though. great job

[HotEyeBallsAching]

I think this arrangement is just fine. I enjoyed it.

This is a moving performance and the performers are excellent.

[granitrocky]

The title says that it is to Aubrey Nicole Stroope, probably his wife. So it is a love song.

[kevinjamespiano]

this was not only too fast but it was rushed. dont bend the tempo so flagrantly

[soliloquyinblack]

That was beautiful. We are singing this is my choir, and this is way better. Possibly a little rushed, but sometimes thats what needs to be done!

[pieappen]

It's whatever you want it to be.

[robsterpaco]

brought me to tears.

[doomveg]

in that sense, isn't it a love song? it may not be like a romantic song, but it is a song about love. anywho, i like this rendition a lot! lovely.

[clbtrk]

i don't understand why sometimes people feel the need to "help" other choirs out. they have their director to tell them what to do. it's kind of insulting to hear from someone randomly on the internet, however much authority you may/may not have. what they sing and how the sing it is between the choir and their director.

[blueeyedbabe882]

its important for outsiders to give opinions, perhaps the director has certain views about their choir...when in fact, a little bit of work here or there would benefit the group and who knows...perhaps one comment to help the group could change a rating from a 2 to a 1....theres a BIG difference!

[clbtrk]

too true, too true.

i can understand it from perhaps someone who's been in choir for a number of years or a director. i understand the difference between a one and a two...it sucks when you come close and don't get it.

[xBaritioneJoyx]

Last note to all: It's a love song so show it!!! Your audience will feel more like you conncect w/ the song than just are singing it if you show emotion

But overall very nice... you guys are a great choir and keep it up!

[xBaritioneJoyx]

Guys- 1) Might want to work a bit more on tone too, for the most part you're good on this but keep it consistent

2) Same as women on vowels. It will make it sound a lot nicer!

[xBaritioneJoyx]

Speaking from someone who sang this as part of a choir who got a 1 at District Contest (and probably a 1 at sate as well) I just have a few things to say

Girls- 1)Might want to work on tone a little bit, make it a bit more womanly than little girlish you get a little squeaky at some parts Soprano and drown out the Altos

2) Work a bit more on vowels, open your mouths a little bit more almost to the point of yawning... who cares if you look like an idiot... they'll understand you a bit better!

[agentkro]

We're singing this song for Maryland all state junior this year. I'm a bass 2...probably one of the few considering the face I'm with 7th and 8th graders too...

[TashaG16]

We sing it a little differently..but still very pretty.

[andreachilders]

that was great!! i makes me miss high school choir too!!

[peopleneedmelikeair]

amazing.

[jocutie123]

i just got goosebumps.

[cowsarefun3]

were singing this in my school choir for x mas concert

they did really good

[Fuzzyin08]

I did this song last year with my choir. The tempo we used was just as slow as this one and it was fine. Then again we had the whole choir. You guys did an awesome job with this song though.

[missgigi123]

and nope the tempo wasn't too fast! it's not supposed to be super slow! this tempo is perfect just how we sang it at school!

[missgigi123]

we used to sing this song when i was in highschool

[Bry4358]

From a Robert Frost Poem; The Pasture. I have heard two different tempo's this is just fine. Well done, not the arrangement I learned way back in Hight School, strictly a Male Chorus when we did it back in 77.

[juiceagent1]

where is the rest of the choir? sounds realy good. from Kearne

[WLWAlwaysSinging]

This is a clip from Solo and Ensemble. So it had to be performed by a small group from Concert Choir and not the entire group.

[SweetxMosaic]

Uhm... I think that the tempo was too fast. Think about the words, visualize what you think they mean. I think of a mother or loved one dying, telling their loved one that they would be gone long. The text is sooo beautiful. Show that through the tempo.

Beautiful sound, just a tad to fast for my taste.

[SweetxMosaic]

Wont** Not would. My bad. o.o

[estrella1093]

why do you say that? it's a happy song. they WON'T be gone long.

[MythicalMelody]

It's not supposed to be sad... But it's supposed to be passionate and heartfelt. I think that it could be shown by emphasizing important words.
