Qui Vult Recording

The choir ladies chanted the Communion Antiphon Qui Vult last Saturday. I recorded it for posterity.

Thumbs up! Sounds pretty good for just four of us :)

MCK,

I think so too. We are small, but sound mighty!

Hey MCK, I just realized that our singers were Mary, Mary, Maria, and Rachel. What are the chances of three Marys, eh?

MCK said...

Wow, yeah! I didn't realize that either! Yay for the Mary's (and Rachel!)

Mesmerizingly ethereal. Beautiful! More, Mary, more...please. Longer pieces? Working late now and this is most conducive to thoughtful reflection. I cannot fathom why the Musical Director is overlooking you guys.

I prefer female vocals to male, in that (in my mind), they more resemble the voices of angels. I am going to look at your posts of the past and search for other recordings... voice, organ etc.

Man-o-man is this a great blog.

Dearest TH2,

From now on I will blame you for my huge ego. Thank you for your kind comments.

I'm trying to do short choral pieces so that we can learn them quickly. OU is on the quarter system (for now), and all the choir members are students, so we have a somewhat limited time to work things out.

More recordings will be coming soon, especially organ pieces; I'm working on repertoire for my Junior Recital.

Since Progressive Metal isn't so conducive to thoughtful reflection, I love to listen to the Tallis Scholars when I want a foreshadowing of Heaven. Check them out if you haven't already.
