YouTube videos added to the blog...and Sunday details

YouTube videos of Geistliches Lied, Op. 30, Wana Baraka, Thula Sizwe, Gate Gate, Overflowing, and Yemaya Asesu have been added to the choir blog.

Would not be a bad idea to check out the Geistliches Lied video, as well as on the practice site before Sunday.

Remember, arrive and be ready to rehearse at 9:30 sharp, dressed in all black on Sunday morning. See you all then!

new pieces on the practice site

A note from Al about the new pieces added to the practice site.

There are three new pieces on the practice site: Connected, Thula Sizwe and Overflowing.


They are pretty straightforward except for Overflowing, which has some oddness in the repeat on the first few pages. I skipped the intro and the first time through the repeat, so it starts up at letter "A", the second time through the repeat.

I also think the last note of the tenor part is wrong (it is definitely ugly!) but we'll have to check that with Andy.
