Good recording session Singers!

Singers,

What FINE, MUSICAL singing you guys did yesterday! I was really pleased with the intonation, the text shaping, and particularly the blend, which was the best I've heard so far this semester. Thanks to Dr. Goff for lugging his gear over to record us! It's too bad we couldn't solve the AC hiss problem yesterday. You learn something new every day about how the Lambuth buildings are put together! We'll talk with Maintenance to get it turned off for our Concert Choir session next Thursday--or we may record in the Chapel, where I know how to turn the AC off!

Dr. Goff will be using the stuff we recorded to teach his productions class how to splice and cross-fade recording takes next week. As soon as they have it done, I'll post it online so you can listen.

Have a good weekend!
RCB

More about Hugo Distler

As I mentioned in rehearsal, Hugo Distler's life ended tragically by his own hand. Here's a link to a brief Wikipedia article about him if you'd like to read more detail.

P.S. - Altos, I was really pleased with the progress on "Ye Shall Have a Song" yesterday. Your parts are the hardest because they jump octaves and criss-cross so much, but it sounds like we have things pretty solid now.

Resurrection of the Lambuth choir blog!

As one of my colleagues has noted, I've allowed this blog to "languish into obscurity" this past semester. I'm going to correct that and plan to log on MUCH more often this year to post announcements, talk about choir events, and muse about music and life in general. I encourage you to stop by frequently, read my posts, and add comments of your own!
