  • Who says Being in GLee Club Sucks?? These HS students are future stars im sure of it. Good job guys.

    Nice auditorium by the way.

  • NICE BUT MUCH TALLER VOWELS AND FOR THE "SOON" PUSH LIPS FORWARD MORE FOR A MORE ROUNDED SOUND

  • GC has a great music department

  • central islip dude?!! i'm in this choir and really like the stuff you guys do! hahaha good luck with this song, it's pretty tough and i'm sure u guys will sound awesome!

  • This is very, very well done especially given the size of the ensemble. Some parts of the song see quite a bit of divisi!! I'm starting this with my choir in January- it will be my first Whitacre piece!! I can't wait!!

  • You're right on the money perc67!!! Good response. But really, Dr. Cheerbabe had me laughing there for a minute!

  • the vowels are a little too spread for my taste. if they had taller vowels, it would really make their sound more mature. but intonation is mostly accurate. i love this piece. i had the honor of meeting eric whitacre on two occasions and he conducted my choir (the free state high school chamber choir) . he really is a nice guy and is extremely talented.

  • Awesome for a high school choir! I'm working on this with my high school.  If they can do it, try slowing down a little more and the biggest suggestion is working on syllabic stress. Some unimportant syllables are emphasized. I like what you do musically though! The guys sound nice and you have great balance between parts. Obviously a wellfocused and talented choir!

  • My high school choir did this last year, and i partially agree with cheerbabe, whitacre's music calls for the sopranos to be light and no heavy especially in sleep and i felt that they were a bit over powering, and the altos needed to come out a bit more, but remembering how hard this peice was i think that they did a fantastic job....i also would of liked to of heard more of the bass part, its beautiful in this song.

  • you get her perc67.

    XD
