Spending some time with our performance of Stuart Beatch's Chosen Family at Choral Canada's Podium in Victoria this past May... I could sing the first 60 bars of this movement over and over and never get tired of it. I've never performed something that simulates floatedness and contentedness like this. It takes me right to Thousand Palms outside of Palm Springs. That oversold audience in what has to be one of the most rewarding spaces I've ever performed in - St. Andrew's Cathedral was nothing like I've ever performed for before. You could hear a pin drop between movements. That space gave back so much more than we gave. For context, I've sung at Carnegie and St. Andrew's has it beat. The Winspear Centre also has Carnegie beat. I'm forever thankful and forever grateful we could bring John Barton's text to music, and having him in the audience just meant the world. I'm really pining to start our @chronosvocalensemble@mstdn.ca 2027 season. #choir #choral #music #yegarts #victoria https://stuartbeatch.com/chosen-family

In 2013, the Los Angeles Angel City Chorale performed Toto's Africa a cappella, producing the sound of rain and thundershowers with their hands. Video of the performance went viral, propelling the choir to global recognition. #Music #Choir #ACappella #Toto

Instead of "3 good things," I give you: "Rose, Bud, Thorn" ⬇️ (Rose = happy thing Bud = thing I'm looking forward to Thorn = tough/sad thing) For today: 🥀 Rose: wrote approx. 60 seconds of my new choir arrangement, this time it's Training Wheels by Madelline the Person (song's total length is about 3:30, this one has been relatively simple so far) 🌹 Bud: signed up to go to the local aquarium with a local community group 🌿 Thorn: didn't get to ride my bike even tho i really really wanted to #3GoodThings #RoseBudThorn #musicians #FediMusic #choir #composer #FediMusician

I just submitted my first app to the Apple App Store. If you manage a musical ensemble, I really want to talk to you. I'm looking for five or six more ensembles to help test this full management suite for choirs, orchestras, and bands. I already have three ensembles on board, but I could really use some diversity! I'm offering a year's worth of Rehearalio as long as you and your group provide feedback and it's literally as easy as shaking your iPad or iPhone to share bugs and feedback with me if I'm not there with you. This is a full-service management application for your musical ensemble. Small or large, it'll take all of the administrative burden out of your life. We're even going to manage ticket sales by the end of the year. (US/Canada only for now) Learn more at https://rehearsalio.app Message me here or email hello@rehearsalio.app. https://rehearsalio.app #apple #developer #choir #orchestra #band #ensemble

Choir concert yesterday, and today we sang one of the pieces in the morning service which is streamed. Magnificat by Chiara Maria Cozzolani. I had a little solo part, and it went pretty well to my relief. I think I figured out the linking to a certain timestamp. :) https://www.youtube.com/live/5uQq-vH3WWU?si=ob8Y9VZtcwHQaX7s&t=3050 #choir #churchchoir #cantorij

Choir concert today, exiting because I had a (tiny) solo. Last rehearsal was chaotic, at the concert everyone pulled themselves together. Audience was very enthousiastic according to the choir members who were collecting at the exit (these concerts are free entrance, voluntary contribution). Thought of a new word in Finnish: kolehdinkerääjäkuorolainen. Spotted a bird in the sachristy. :D #choir #churchchoir #music

Last day of coaching Nederlands Kamerkoor on Finnish. Today my job has mostly just been to listen and enjoy myself. :) I’m getting paid to listen to a professional choir sing a great piece of music. No complaints. :) #music #choir #classicalmusic

Just to practise how to share a youtube video from a certain timestamp, hope this works as intended! Thank you everyone who gave advice. :) Our choir concerts are usually not streamed, unlike the Sunday services. But this was a special occasion celebrating the 650th anniversary of the province of Utrecht. So a composer from the province, Joannes Tollius (ca. 1550- ca. 1620)(aka Jan Tol if we're not being fancy) from Amersfoort, "Osculetur me osculo oris sui" and "Surge, propera amica mea". Later on in the video also Händel's Utrecht Te Deum which for obvious reasons we get perform pretty regularly. :) https://www.youtube.com/live/kizDZipR36c?si=mXYVb--U78-Es1fB #choir #churchchoir #music #classicalmusic

If there is a way to share a particular moment in a youtube video, instead of linking to the start of the video, I don't know it. But anyway, at about 1:10:30 here you can hear our choir singing some Gesualdo (a rather mild one mind you) at the service this morning, and have a look at one of the pretty windows in the Dom church. The volunteer who does the video took advantage of the fact that we sang around the baptismal font instead of where we usually stand. (I'm one of the people hidden by the chandelier) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3X5gxRLwnk #choir #churchchoir #music #classicalmusic

Choir director let us know that the program for our next concert is too long and we wouldn’t sing the Magnificat by Roxanne Panufnik. To be honest I’m a bit relieved -it was I think the hardest piece on the program. A lovely one though. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HQC52cULSXU #choir #womenmusicwednesday

I did something in rehearsal last night I have never done before. I sang the F over middle C in my head voice. Mind. Blown. It's true what they say, your voice truly doesn't mature until you're into your 30's. #choir #choral #singing

Choir conceet today went pretty well. Despite the absolutely terrible choir score we had for one piece, that didn't mark the time signatures of measures in the places where the choir has a rest, so we had no idea how long those rests were! I suppose the publisher thought choir singers can't count anyway and rely on the conductor for any entrance. Boo. Plus: odd choices of cue notes, and unreadably small time signatures, just to make everything more fun to read. Music by Helmut Barbe (Unknown to me composer but a very beautiful and cool piece), Vincente Lusitano (renaissance composer who should be more well known because gorgeous music!) and Alexander Gretchaninov (Russian composer, which caused some discussion among the choir beforehand). Extra fun was that my husband was playing celesta in the Barbe , it's nice when we have a gig together. :) #choir #music #sheetmusic
