Stanleh trying to sound like an expert - If you think this is in 4/4, you need a lesson in asymmetrical rhythm. Note how the conductor is beating a three pattern that is not symmetrical. How do you get 4/4 out of that? This is my new school now and if you are going to crack on them, you had better know what you are talking about. It is obvious you don't.

this is my favorite performance of 7/8 so far. everything else ive heard is way too unbalanced. Good blend!

After doing this with my school I have never listened to this song the same again.

i'm one of the singers in this- we slowed it down because of the location we were singing in. if we had gone any faster the HUGE auditorium area we were singing in, with people walking randomly about, would have blurred our words too much.

I loved singing this version and still 3 years later I think it sounds awesome.

Go Dragons!

I personally don't like this version, but I won't say bad stuff about it. I just don't think it's fast enough. It's a little bit too boring. And seeing as this is a show choir, it should be acapella. Not many show choirs have directors conduct them. Also, since my choir does this, it's funnier when you add little jokes into the song, to make it enjoyable for the audience.

Stanleh, time signature and tempo are two different things. 4/4 can be taken at any tempo the conductor sees fit, as can 7/8 or any other time signature. The time signature is set and is not up to interpretation by the conductor.

At the same time, you've made an error, not commited a crime against man. The misconception is not necessarily your fault and todwfish and DULD954 are both out of line.

I read this and burst out laughing.

[DULD954]

For people who know nothing about music, the actual title of the song is "Deck the Halls in 7/8"...

It would be quite an absurd statement to say "I think it's in 4/4 instead of 7/8". You clearly are not musically inclined, and are only saying "4/4" because it's the only time signature you've ever heard of.

Don't spout knowledge you don't actaully have.
