Website Issues

Just FYI:
I haven't updated the website recently because there have been issues with updating. I'm may have to take the website down to get it working again. I will let you know when the page is up and running again.

In the meantime, you'll have to depend on your CD's for All-West rehearsals.

New Photos from Spring Concert

I just posted new pictures from our Spring Concert on our website. Check out the Photos page and look at the Album as well.

Finally posted

Hey, sorry about the delay. As soon as I was ready to post the tracks online, the server went down. Anyway, it's back up and I've updated the website. For those that want to get a head start and didn't come get a CD, go to the website and start working on All-West now!!

Just a quick reminder, we will be selling coupon books again ($25), so start talking to your friends and neighbors today to get orders lined up. The sooner you sell your 5, the sooner you can stop. Please tackle this quickly. Chorale won last year...let's see if it will be a repeat victory of if another choir will take home the gold!!

All tracks done...soon to be posted!

So, I've been hard at work and have finished all the tracks for all 7 songs. I'm working on getting them posted online (I can probably do it tomorrow) and am currently in the process of making practice CD's. I know there are only a few of you that will see this post since most of the choir has forgotten about this blog over the summer.

I would ask you to spread this word for me: If you would like to get a practice CD early, come by my room on the day of registration (Aug 2) and I will have them ready for you.

This is your chance to get started early - remember I have information on the website about how and where to order your own music if you're interested (it's only about $15.00 for the whole set). Please comment on this post if you are planning to come by Aug 2 so I'll be looking for you. And spread the word!!

Oh, and by the way, D-Men's Chorus has their own page on the website now. I have some rehearsal tracks on there for them as well.

See you in a couple weeks!

Lux Arumque - with a twist

So, most of you know how much of an Eric Whitacre fan I am. He posted a video on his blog of an interesting arrangement of his song "Lux Arumque." Just in case you can't remember what that songs sounds like, I'll post the virtual choir version of the song and then this guy's Boogie-Woogie arrangement.

O Vos Omnes - great piece!

Hi! I hope your summer is going well. I'm still working on All-West tracks. I've got the Finale files done, but I'm working on singing/recording the parts now. Hopefully, I'll have something on the website soon.

In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy this selection from yesteryear. This is "O vos Omnes" by Vicotria. Bonus question: during which time period was this written?

All-Southwest Update

Hey everyone,
I hope your summer is going well. I just wanted to give you an update on the progress of All-Southwest Honor Choir rehearsal tracks. I've finished "Zigeunerleben." You can click here to go directly to the page, or you can find it through the ASW Honor Choir page on our website. I've copied the list of the songs on the website, too.

"Zigeunerleben" is available on the Choral Public Domain Library, though they want us to buy a different version (which we will in the fall). It's at least a copy that you can use to get started.

Hope your summer is going well.
