First of all, I’d like to thank all of you very hard working choir members for devoting your Saturday to attend the workshop this weekend. Not only was it a very productive day, we were able to enjoy spending time together as a choir building friendships. I’d also like to thank the saintly souls who helped prepare the food for the workshop. It was quite a spread! It helped us all to get refreshed and prepared for more hard work.
The recording process is still in the learning phase. We were able to get recordings from the morning session, but something happened in the afternoon recordings that left us with nothing. (Most disappointing!) However, the recordings we were able to get did turn out well for the most part. There were mistakes, (as expected) but I think we are heading in the right direction. Please share your thoughts as you listen to the recordings. One of the reasons for making them is to use them to self-critique and find ways in which we can improve our overall sound as a choir.
Thank you all for sharing your gifts and talents to bring glory and honor to God.
Since we have recording equipment now, we will be putting it to use! Recordings will be available online within the week. I hope that these will be of some use to you as you continue to practice, but also its a good way for us to hear what things we are doing well vocally and what could use some improvement.
Mark your calendars for April 1st for a choir workshop for Holy Week & Easter. There is so much chant to cover, as we found out last night! The Saturday workshop will run from 10:15- 2pm with a break for lunch. If you are not available, please let me know in advance so that I can make needed the adjustments. Food will be provided for a light breakfast and lunch. The music schedule for the workshop will be posted online soon. We’ll also use this time as an opportunity to record some of our pieces.
