Hello fellow singers and lovers of music! Hi from Chicago!

Take 2. This time I decided to use the headset instead of the webcam mic. It made a huge difference and eliminated all ambient noise. Then I had delay problems in my first upload and had to convert the raw .avi file to .wmv.

I really want this to be perfect as I think this is a fantastic opportunity and I have loved Whitacre's music since first hearing it in high school.

What a fantastic way to unite people through harmony from around the world with the power of technology! :)

Dude, those high notes are as round as a ball. Nice work.

@theirongiant Haha, thanks man! I think Eric's note "transparente" is what I was going for with those C's. Float em!

Great job. Your video really helped me in my practices to get the baritone part down pat. Here's to waiting for spring!

Ben: As you can sing from Tenor 1 right down to Bass 2, and have a really nice sound quality on all those voices, it shows what a useful singer a Baritone is! Chrissie

Excellent job. It really helps listening to other people do this. Sort of helps to create a sense of ensemble without the ensemble... if that makes any sense. haha. Still not sure which part to sing... I sang bass 1 in my high school choir way back when. Some of those notes in the beginning are just a bit too low for me though.

@PitboyPhotography The truth is that I sang this in a choral style - being careful to breathe at his marks and when I did sneak breaths it was inside measures or phrases, so it will be covered by the other singers.

Many thanks for your compliments though. :)

@PitboyPhotography Hah, thanks - that was just to show my friends what this whole thing is about. The single part alone isn't that melodic. I kept comments off because I already know it is of much lesser quality.
