Beati Quorum Via

I was asked to start singing again but since I have nothing to sing solo-wise I just though I would post a recording of me singing with my chamber group. I was a member of the Valdosta State University Chamber Singers for two years. I have no actual video of us singing but I have put together a slideshow from our tour in Italy back in 2003 along with one of my favorite pieces from the program. I so totally miss singing with them. I will put together another and post it later.
If you listen at 01:32 on the "in lege domine" alto entrance you can clearly hear one alto voice over the rest. that would actually be me. After i listened to it the fist time I was like who is that? then I realized it was me. Oh well, Dr. Johnson kept pointing at me and doing the give me more volume signal. I guess I finally gave enough volume since I can actually pick my voice out from the other. He always said he wanted that entrance to be strong.

Great recording. A few of the endings weren't quite as crisp as this piece demands. Nice use use of dynamics. I do agree that the "in lege domini" section towards the middle needs more power. This is the 1st "climax" of the piece. All in all, spectacular performance. I hope to hear more from the men and women from southern Georgia in the near future.

[jaynae25]

well work hard and have fun. I know I certainly had the time of my life singing with them. I really miss it.

blah i got baritone. i'm new in choir and there's only 6 guys (including me) total in my choir so yea its kinda hard but im getting better =)

[jaynae25]

men and women no sectioning. mixed vocal seating. I sang 2nd alto and sat between the Strongest bass singer a tenor and infront of a soprano 1. Eventually I will get the vid up for the men's group. They were singing Back to Ethiopia and it was my absolute favorite piece the guys did.

When we sing it, we sing it a tad faster... But it sounds to work just fine in this pace as well.. :) I sing the Bass 1 :)... BTW, this was a stricht boys/mens choire, right?.. My choire is, that's why I'm asking :)

[jaynae25]

Unfortunately not all of them were as FORTE as I was. and the vid/slideshow is from the totally awesome trip to Italy we took. We sang this while over there so I thought it was quite fitting!
