Pachelbel's Canon A Capella - The Four Quarters

An a capella arrangement of the popular piece, by Kevin McSheffrey. This has been one of the biggest challenges for us as a quartet, it's a very difficult arrangement and we decided against recording it last year. However, we didn't want to be "defeated" by any arrangement, so we pulled it together with a couple rehearsals this summer for you!

As for our CD, for those who haven't heard, Crystal Ball Records has decided to push forward the release date to October 2010! We will be posting the final date when it is set, both here and on our facebook. Join us on facebook for all the most recent updates and to chat with us!

Where can I get the score?

[TheFourQuarters]

@Elizabeth20942 You can't. It's my own arrangement. Sorry.

[ombraninja]

The first girl is not quite in tune...sorry!

[Tsunade3Sannin]

you guys rock

@ombraninja Agreed, but I'd still like to give credit to the whole group for posting this. Even if at first she didn't hit the notes (which I agree), for me it seems that the overall performance isn't something that horrible. Personally, I believe the 2nd soprano deserves the biggest applause; she did the hard work in accompanying the harmony, maybe without any recognition. I'm no professional musician, I just play the piano and cello and did some opera singing for some time. What do you think?

@ombraninja that's what I thought !

[ombraninja]

@declanandsarah Thank you for the jackass, I'm wondering if you have two ears working good. Anyway dwood0927 was right, the first note doesn't make the tune of a piece, look for example the gregorian's songs they have no key at all!! Are you a musician? I hope no!

anyway(2) the girl is not in tune at the beginning!

[dwood0927]

@declanandsarah Before you go calling people names you should probably know what you're talking about. You can clearly tell from note to note in her part that the intervals are wrong and that she isn't quite in tune. And no the first singer doesn't set the key, the key is set in the score and all the singers must sing it, she is quite clearly out of tune.

[declanandsarah]

@ombraninja It's an a capella quartet - the first singer sets the key you jackass! Anyway sounds great to me!
