Why is there always 1 diva tenor in every choir? XD

[Dawgmandede]

@PitboyHarmony1 it's that one extreme tenor on the right side. Diva. 

[peacefulgirl1000]

@Andrewvv1 that is sooooooo true! in my choirs too!!!!

[macaines71]

The only thing worse than a tenor is a tenor who insists on being heard...

[psychodan13]

awesome tenor section!!! as a bass, sort of disappointed!!! :P

[harmonythouart]

i love this song... yes quite sharp during the dissonant moments- which are supposed to give tension but if its not perfect then it doesn't feel the way it is meant- which is actually my favorite part of this piece. although when i heard other songs of eric whitacre's that you've done...they have been my favorite at times. this piece also usually has the help of a large choir that assist to the expanse of this song. lovely though... keep up the great work :)

[jamieboyrockon]

Very beautifully done! Though, the tenor part is very prominent. Maybe back off a bit guys? Or, blend a little better? But, with a little tweaking, this could be absolutely fantastic! Haha. Well done ladies and gents. 

[PitboyHarmony1]

Nicely done, the recording didnt show the Bass1 very strongly bar 15 to 26, or the bass 2 throughout the song. Those powerhouse ladies just drowned the chords provided by the basses ... shame. Could just be the recording tho. Im a member of the Eric Whitacre VC (1600 members), and I will post this on the fb wall, it should be heard.

Fantastic. Really, REALLY good.

BUT - the choir has a tendency to go sharp. And quite a bit too! Just something to keep in mind, since you ended up just over a semitone higher than what you started in (and what it's written in). Mind you, it's better than going flat - as long as your singers can still manage.

Keep up the great work, I look forward to hearing more about this choir.
