they really had a very nice dynamic range... and the 1st sopranos did a very nice job up on top... and they got the clapping at the end! Way to Geaux!

What's up with the binders? I HATE that about choirs, when they can't memorize their music. This isn't even a hard song to memorize! My choir's doing it for our winter concert. A month in, we ditched the sheet music. You can't get a feel for the music if just from the sheet music. You have to work without it to get perceive the meaning of the song.

AMAZING!

I did this last year, and you guys are so much better.

I had a love/hate relationship with the rounds at the end, haha.

finally! a youtube video in which the choir sings this piece *up to speed*. I love Caldwell and Ivory's arrangement, but nothing kills it faster than a conductor plodding along.

@AlyxArsenic Forget you and your bitchin'. You have no idea of the circumstances, so just STFU...

@AlyxArsenic maybe they hadn't had the piece for very long. im in this choir now and we're doing this song but we just started it last week and the concert is the week we get back from break which is 2 weeks from today so essentially, we've had 3 rehearsals and we have 3 rehearsals until we have to perform this song.

@AlyxArsenic They might have had a very large program. Maybe they didn't have a lot of time to prepare. You have to understand that not every one is so perfect at memorization as your choir.

This group did a really good job. I have to agree with tizzy12234 about the ending. The choir I was in did this song and we modified the end. Our conductor said it was because we didn't have the same size as the group it was written for. Which, while true, I don't think was the only reason for the change.

And as for the whole race thing. Yes it's going to sound different coming out of a bunch of classically trained white girls, but to insult that is rather prejudiced don't you think?

[tizzy12234]

Really? Is it that hard to memorize a song that's 2 minutes long? My choir's doing this song and 1. We can't use the music in the performance and 2. We already have it memorized. Plus I think the ending sounds really stupid (the way it's written not how you sang it, you guys sounded pretty good).

i'm singing this tonight with my choir. all the key changes are so hard! you sounded AMAZING though

[SugarRacer222]
