My Bonnie Lass She Smileth by Morley

[groovekitty70]

LOVE the dynamics and ensemble. The conductor is enjoyable to watch. I think I'll try that "sparkle" cue with the wind ensemble tomorrow as it seems to promote an open and round sound at least for the singers.

Lovely!

I would have like to have seen more of the singers and less of the conductor.

Sounds nice though.

nice warmth, personally too slow for me. my choir director made us redo each section until no one said "Luh". lol.

"Luh" is the authentic sound for a fast "la" in madrigals. Your director imposed modern choral singing ideas onto a Renaissance piece, but this is understandable since few choir leaders receive training in pre-classical music performance.

[debbz02]

Lol, for me... "Luh" sounds kind of ugly, even if it is technically correct.

my choir is doing this. it's far from my favorite song but not bad

I think it is a great piece by Thomas Morley, but I think you skipped a beat or so after "And you shall love me more". If I remember from my choir the measure was in 3/4.

Great! Our Madrigal group sang this and we are not that high spirited, so good job on that!
