@DJLiko81 Re beating in 2 if it's faster and 4 if it's slower, not so if your musicianship is adequate to feel and maintain the flow of the rhythm. If it's not, keep working on it. Find the Freiburger Barockorchester performance of Corelli's Christmas Concerto on YouTube for a (mostly) superb example of strong rhythmic flow in slow music.

This is much slower than other performances I have, but the blending is fantastic! I always try to find at least one very slow version of the pieces I really love so as to be able to hear everything/follow the score at some point :) You should be proud!

Very soothing and beautiful. Good luck on the Empty Cup! you know

[DJLiko81]

@awyliu IMO this tempo is right on the cusp between feeling "natural" in 4 vs 2. If you want to sing the piece in 2:30, you sing it in 2; if you want to sing it in 3, you sing it in 4. It also has to do with the skill of the choir, but obviously that was't a factor here. Great work.

[awyliu]

Great blend and interpretation, but should this piece be "beaten" in 4 instead of a slow 2?

[PapagenoHannover]

Very wll done...Beaurtiful voices. Good intonation. BRAVO!

[Yodasstuff]

Very pretty. Your voices blend very nicely.

[sbreheny]

Really, really wonderful! Thank you!

@saotomi5102 i agree, i'm in a high school choir and we sung this piece without a director (and we were told to feel it in 2 XD)

though this is a very talented group, very beautiful
