OK, guys, we have a lot of work to do if we're going to have a concert ready by Christmas... ok, good posture! Sit up straight!! Eru, spit out your gum!! Let's start on A Major... Can I hear the basses sing their note?

Now the tenors...

Add the altos...

And the sopranos...

Hooray! Good job!! [Smile]

Would you please all take out the Debussy piece, and turn to the bottom of page three?

Altos can sing a little louder, we're not getting your note... sing to the back of the hall!

And Eru, the Debussy piece is "Petite Cantate for Chorus and Bells."

Come on, BLEND! Shape your phrases! Go for the high notes!

Sorry, I can't sing very loudly.

Hmmm, I ended up with Pitoni's Cantate instead.

I think that's Handel. Gosh do I miss choir so much.

The choir I'm in went to sing at Carnegie Hall two years ago!! That's awesome!! It was SO much fun, you'll have a blast!!

And the rest of you... that sounds great, absolutely wonderful, but I think we may have a more unified sound if we're all singing the same song... [Razz]

OK, enough chromatic scales, let's do some arpeggios, and then we're ready to start singing!

I refuse to sing without backrubs.

Anyway, have you guys ever tried to assemble a virtual choir? Over the summer I got 5-6 internet friends to record ourselves singing individual parts, then spliced them together in Vegas. Considering the thousands of miles in total distance crossed, it sounded pretty damn good.
