In Remembrance of Me

HI All,

Here are the audio files I made in Finale for In Remembrance of Me.  Wow, I think they're hard to listen to. But, they can help!

In Remembrance of Me - Soprano

In Remembrance of Me - Alto

In Remembrance of Me - Tenor

In Remembrance of Me - Bass

Thanks all.  The next time I do this, it will be back to the lovely sound of an acoustic piano for reals.  I ordered a replacement for my 4 track recorder, and it will be here tomorrow.  Phew!

Love Came Down at Christmas

Hello Choir and friends of the choir,

I'm very excited to start working on our Christmas Cantata for the year!  Just for your records, we will be singing this the service on December 14.  Please make sure you're in town that weekend.  Expect to have a final 'dress' rehearsal on Sat December 13 in the afternoon.

We will start working on this piece during our Wednesday night rehearsals, for the 2nd half of the rehearsal, starting this coming Wednesday, Sept 17, at 7:15.

The work has four main movements, each on a theme of Advent - Hope, Peace, Joy and Love.  In addition, there are opening and closing movements to give a greater sense of structure to the whole work.

Here are links to the wonderful, studio produced rehearsal tracks, separated by parts.  Feel free to download them, but if you'd rather get a CD from me, just ask.  I've made a bunch and can make more if needed.

Welcome Back

Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to another year of WPUMC Choir Awesomeness!

Here are some audio helper files for the "Leaning On..." that we'll be singing in a couple of weeks.  I hit a couple of clunkers while recording, just enough to keep you on your toes.  Yup, they are there to test you, and not at all a sign of my lack of piano skills...

Leaning - Soprano

Leaning - Alto

Leaning - Baritone

Leaning - full 'band'

Also, please give a listen to the studio recorded version of this Pepper Choplin tune that we'll be working on.  It's going to be fantastic.

Hold On to the Rock

And, as a final treat, be sure to check out this YouTube video, which is a sneak peak at the Christmas Cantata we'll be singing this Christmas.  Woohoo!

Thanks everyone, all for now!

I'm not crazy about the quality of these recordings - the piano seemed pretty in tune at the time, but it sure doesn't sound great here.  Let me know if these are of any help at all?
