June Music

Song of Ruth by David Child's

My Lord, What a Morning - arr. Michael Neaum

Landslide - Glee version

Bad Day - Can't find a decent recording of a women's choir doing this arrangement so I thought I would just post the original.




In case you really wanted to hear a choir do this arrangement this is the best one I've found.

Take Five - Choral Jazz (not a women's choir but pretty good for high schoolers)

Auld Lang Syne - The original "Cast" recording this arrangement is based on

 Pretty good for a school choir!

Try to Remember - Stunning version of this arrangement.

This is a version of the Ohio State University Women's Choir singing it in German

Recordings from April 2nd

Below are the recordings from our session on April 2nd. If there were multiple takes I chose the better one to post. I am interested in your perspectives on these recordings.

Resources for the Schubert

A friend of mine, Erick the Malto, recently pointed me to an online resource for choral parts and sure enough the Schubert SSAA version of Psalm 23 is available!

Recording: http://www.choralia.net/sc10mp3/

Sheet music: http://www0.cpdl.org/wiki/images/sheet/schb-p23.pdf

The bummer is that the recording is in German (sort of), I'd be interested in your feedback once you take a listen!

NewMusicBox » A Helpful List (of Women Composers)

NewMusicBox » A Helpful List

This article appears on the website NewMusicBox.org which as you might guess specializes in the work of living composers. The list spurs important conversation about female composers that are active today and has already generated some response articles on the website.

It would be interesting to see your response if you have the time to investigate some of these composers or others profiled on this website. The scope of "new" (for us anything written in the last 50 years or so) is so far off from what is going on in serious (classical) music that it would be surprising if we did anything that made it to their list. This might spur a whole conversation about "traditional" church music and it's connection to current culture.
