Great job! Not bad for a high school choir!
-
i am so proud! i graduated from mgsh in 2003, and it's AMAZING how far this choir has come. great job!!
-
if i'm not mistake it sounds like doon not deun but that could just be video quality that and i can't your bass in "safe in bed" near the beginning of the song that and it feels as if you're rushing the song is in huge long phrases for a reason but who knows i'm just a high school junior who just performed it [not very well to tell you the truth] what i enjoyed it the line "clouds of dream" which ended up very well what i know but may i ask is with the head bobbing all around? i find it weird =/

raise the soft-pallet! this song is for adults. if a high school is going to do it, raids those pallets. the vowels could use a little darkening, but thats just a personal preference.

The choir in Willmar has the same ones too!

The words of this poem represent restlessness, excitement, and fighting sleep - like a child resisting sleep, as described by the author. Giving the tempo some motion at times can help translate that feeling to the audience. Also, the author of the poem relates the work to the death of his wife in that she fought death but it eventually captured her. This piece can represent that struggle and pain as well. Tempo fluctuation, among other things, is a great way to evoke that emotion.

our choir in northfield has the exact same robes lol
-
very good sounding performance... Just feels a little rushed - not quite embracing the true emotion of the piece... but alot better than other performances I have seen
-
very nice

Ok, so my chamber choir just sang this. I agree that it's too fast; the whole point is to make your audience feel like they are trying to get to sleep, but they can't. Also, I almost cried when you sang pictures, the vowel was so bad. I don't mean to be a dick, but if you sing it like 'pick-shures' it sounds flat, even if its not. It should be pick-chuhs, like you are british. Ooh, and the surrender unto is a little jankey. What happened to the Soprano Ones?

I'll be sure to tell my conductor to try to improve the "jankiness" factor for future choirs. Oh cursed jankiness! Why hast thou chosen to plague Maple Grove?
