#cosochoral concert today!
I was able to record our dress rehearsal Friday night. The choir is a bit more distant sounding in this recording than I'd prefer, because the setup was not what I anticipated. Still I think it came out pretty well considering.
I recorded two different tracks: a pair of my omni's, and my friends 414's in mid side. If you click the V2 icon to the right, you can compare.
Prepare to be transported.
This is, IMO, the most stunningly beautiful music for Passion Week ever written. (Sorry, JSB.) This performance is one of my top favorite albums of all time, dare I say better than any Russian choir I've heard perform this piece.

Here's some samples of the concert I performed in and recorded yesterday.
The choir is made up of volunteers from various community and church choirs that are friends with the organizers, and is mostly amateur. Orchestra is all pros. The only rehearsal all together is the morning of the concert.
Before listening, go into audio options at the bottom and enable lossless. 😎

Hey there! I see you've been posting album covers of a lot of great music, but have you considered posting links to performances on YouTube so folks unfamiliar with said pieces can listen?
There are perilously few of us posting classical - some more would be appreciated.
Please use #cosoclassical and #cosomusic . If you check #cosochoral you'll find a lot of my posts also.
I'm about to hear a concert of one of my all-time favorite #cosochoral works, the Duruflé Requiem. I have never had the opportunity to hear it performed live, and I'm SUPER stoked.
See you on the other side.
One of my all time favorite #cosochoral pieces just came on, and it made my Sunday.
I think it's one of the most beautiful things ever written, but you may need an adjustment period. It pushes the limits of tonal harmony.

All the guitarists here need to hear this. What an instrument, played with such mastery and beauty!

My fellow #cosoclassical people:
This is MAJOR news!!!
Decca is re-issuing their LEGENDARY recording of the Britten War Requiem with the composer conducting! It is an all-new high definition digital transfer and remastering.
Here is composer John Rutter (who was in the boy choir of the original recording) talking about this release. More info and links are in the video description.

The song we all know as the "Ukrainian Bell Carol" was originally a New Year song performed by carolers going door to door, wishing prosperity in the coming year.
Here is a performance of the original version with English translation. FYI, it never mentions bells at all. Those words were written later by Peter Wilhousky when he repurposed the song.

I just came across this stunning arrangement. The original Irish Mixolydian-Dorian melody is tastefully embellished and set over a modern harmonic bed. And that soloist!!

In my humble opinion, THIS is the war-horse that should be sung by choirs during Advent; not the Hallelujah Chorus, which has nothing to do with the season.
Besides, Mendelssohn writes better for choirs.

With all respect to King's Cambridge, this non-professional choir from Bethlehem, PA just flat out does this classic arrangement better.
O Come, All Ye Faithful - arr. Wilcocks

I've always loved this particular setting of this text, in the way that it conveys the "mystery".
Francis Poulenc - O Magnum Mysterium
