January 2016 (3rd Quarter) -- Concert Choir -- Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves
Use the song "Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves" and record yourself singing measures 12 to 28. Send the recording to me via email: robert.reimer@washk12. This is a Verdi opera. The tone (style) should reflect this. If you are more interested, you can check out this video (which addresses the difference between light opera and heavy opera and even a little bit of jazz at the beginning). |

NOVEMBER 2016 (2nd Quarter) -- Both Les Chanteurs and Concert Choir
Use the song "Night of Silence" and record yourself singing the melody (Ladies verse 1, Men verse 2). Send the recording to me via email: [email protected]
Verse 1 words (Ladies): Cold are the people, Winter of life, We tremble in shadows this cold endless night, Frozen in the snow lie roses sleeping, Flowers that will echo the sunrise, Fire of hope is our only warmth, Weary, its flame will be dying soon.
Verse 1 words (Men): Voice in the distance, call in the night, On wind you enfold us you speak of the light, Gentle on the ear you whisper softly, Rumors of a dawn so embracing, Breathless love awaits darkened souls, Soon will we know of the morning.

Lyrics: Moving like the rise and fall of wings, hands that shape our calling voice
On the edge of answers you've heard our cry,
You've known our cry, Music's fierce compassion flows from you.
The night is restless wit the sounds we hear,
Is broken, shaken by the cries of pain: for this is music's inner voice saying
yes, we hear you, all you who cry aloud.
On the edge of answers you've heard our cry,
You've known our cry, Music's fierce compassion flows from you.
The night is restless wit the sounds we hear,
Is broken, shaken by the cries of pain: for this is music's inner voice saying
yes, we hear you, all you who cry aloud.
Music is what feelings sound like.
