Choral Cacophony Podcast #10 - Do you Hear What I Hear? I think you do...

The Child
For everyone who is enjoying our podcasts, please be patient as our provider goes through some housecleaning. This may mean some delays in downloads but I am sure it will settle out soon.

I have for you an early Christmas treat !

We all love the Xmas favourite "Do you Hear What I Hear?" so our director Pierre decided to do an arrangement for the choir.

I thinks it's fantastic and really conveys the feeling and sweetness of the original song.

What do you think?

Chapter 1 - Pierre gives notes and the choir starts the run-through of his exclusive arrangement of "Do You Hear What I Hear?"

Chapter 2 - Second time through a chorus - Pierre works on dynamics and enunciation.

Chapter 3 - Working on the ritardando for the ending - and saying consonants together.

PS Last year's concert Premiere of this song is almost ready for Youtube -- watch for it1

Also, if you are a choir director and want Pierre to publish this arrangement so you can do it with your choir, please tell us in an email at info (at) stairwellcarollers.com

Please DONATE to support our 40th year events ! 
All Donations receive a charitable receipt.
