  • @xxPencilOnPaperxx I don´t think...

  • Allegro Vivace means fast!

  • Competently performed, but waaaaay under tempo.

  • nice brass :)

  • the opening bars of this allegro vivave were ripped off from Alfred Newman's Main Title from Airport (1970), just search it here on YouTube!

  • @afmorgan53 Exactly! My college choir is performing this soon and we can sing it faster, but for those who can't the tempo needs to slow down slightly. It is better to perform a piece a little slow and maintain the intensity as they did, than to sing quickly with mistakes throughout. Also, it is up to the director to know his ensemble well enough. If there isn't enough time to get a piece up to speed by performance time, singing slightly slower is the only option.

  • Take it in 1. - With superb performers, shame to be so far under tempo.

  • I like the tempo... If you rush the brass and the percussion--and they totally set up the entire work--, you'll totally lose that intro...And, I think the vivace marking is relative to the tempos of the other movements. Director can only go as fast as the musicians can sing/play well. Nice recording, too.

  • LOL, it's a little bit slow but it's alright I guess. xD each part of the voice are perfecally fine :D

  • LOL, it is a little bit slow, but it's alright I think xD
