WskFAn sorry I erased your comment by accident . Here is what you wrote :

Hallo treblekid,

I got allways the answers in the negative asking the represents of the choirs writing to allow filming.

Filming nevertheless nobody had anything against ! I think that contracts with the

record firms are the reason...

[treblekid]

I have never received a no , but then I never asked. Now I know in person quite a few choirmasters and they all seem to approve the videos. After all more publicity equals more CD sales + it always good to know that your talent is appreciated .

I decided to have a quick listen to Justorum anima as I will be singing this piece in about 2 hours time. Time to leave for the practice now !

Oh dear. What a laboured and dragging rendition. Trebles particularly flat at 0:39. and have a horrible glissando approach to the top note at 2:57. This is almost like a bad practice session rather than a true performance. The conductor or choirmaster really did let the standards slip here. It is a difficult piece but I would have expected better from a choir such as this.

beautifull rendition of this anthem wich is singed as offertory during the Holy Mass; it is in our "chorister missal" thats mean that we can sing it at every time since it was added in this choirbook (in 1960)

Ew, we sang these three motets last year. Beati is gorgeous but sort of pointlessly so, and this was far more so. I hated it. I immediately hijacked the text and wrote my own setting that was as thorny, subtextual, and dissonant as possible, and we ended up performing them in the same concert :-D

Stanford clearly knows his stuff, and he writes beautiful lines, but I just don't like his placidity and meaningless prettiness. Give me Britten or Beethoven any day. To each his own, I guess :-)

Well this was with my high school choir. and no none of them are online. It was the best year of my high school choir though. it was awesome.

[achinghunger15]

I did two of the three motets. This one and beati quorum via. I fell inlove with his music like right away

[treblekid]

Thanks . I have updated the clip info ( :

Simply amazing] the art of the choir music! Excelent performance!

[treblekid]

Sure just add me as a friend at You Tube - the clip is in my account but set to private as I would like to have only the more complete and better clips publicly available as this will contribute to the publicity of your choir.

[treblekid]

I attended just the one at the cathedral - front row too - but there was not sure if filming would be OK - which is why I only got a very short video clip ( 20- 30 seconds ) and 2-3 photos.

Excellent! You find the coolest choirs.
