1.) When i watch the videoes i see strong emotion on these peoples faces. i see that they are putting forth all their effort to produce an eloquont sound. they are so into this because they are professionals and they give everything they have into their music.
ReplyDelete2.)As i listened to this peice it mad me feel like i was watching a sunset by the beach. it was a very good feeling of mine almost like im crying.the people in this just make me feel happy by the way they sing.
3.)What i can take from this video is to put all the emotion and feeling i can into singing. thses guys are professionals so they know how to put forth and effort to make them sound beautiful. i think if we do this that we can also sound good.
1. Everybody is extremely focused on their music. It’s amazing how dedicated they are into singing while having no idea exactly what the people around them will sound like. I believe that they’re so ‘into’ the music because they really want to have their reputation cross that of Eric Witacre’s.
ReplyDelete2. The piece itself was extremely impressive. It was a calm mixture of voices and it’s quite a novel thing to hear eight different parts all at the same time. They blended so well it was actually kind of hard to tell Tenor 1s from Tenor 2s for example. The different parts made the song unique in its own fashion in order to create a different atmosphere. Though it was a choral piece, it was made into a powerful performance of a hodge-podge of different people from across the world.
3. The performance is the perfect example of dedication. Most of these people were chosen out of the thousands because of their pure strive to be a member of this performance. They put every bit of themselves into it in order to sound the best that they possible could. We, as a Men’s Chorus, should take from it the dedication, power, and strength that these 185 performers used in Eric Whitacre’s performance of Lux Aurumque.
1. I enjoyed listening to the music. I liked how it was a blend of different tones. I really liked the unity in the voices and how it resonated.It seem like it reflected how we are all connected by music and sining. As I said before the blending was amazing. Sure they were all different voice parts but they were all equal. No one was too high or too low. It was right in the middle.
ReplyDelete2. It makes me feel like I am just one small fish in the big ocean that is choir music. I felt like I could add my voice to the singing and have this feeling of accomplishment because I can contribute something to the world before I die. That would be the greatest thing I could be recognized for. Sharing my voice as a gift to the world.
3. After listening to this piece, I am inspired to charge forward and pursue this gift I possess. I want to be the best and Mr. Williams is the person who can help me achieve that goal. I can carry the dedication that these people have and be grateful for the talents that God gave me.
When I look into the people faces I see that every one is one cue and taking it very serious. Even though their are a virtual choir located possibly all over the world they are very respectful and I can tell that they all really like singing and its something that they take very serious. The piece itself was very impressive, because I know its twice as hard to conduct a choir on the internet! I have never seen anything like it, so it was pretty cool to me. After viewing this choir I know if they can be more focused than we are and they're performing, that I know we should be able to be more attentive than what we are and I know that we will be better next semester. I just know we will twice as good as we are now!
ReplyDelete1. I could tell by the peoples faces that they wanted to be singing. It showed that they werent forced to be there but it was what made them happy and they were putting everything they had into it.
ReplyDelete2. This piece had a very calming effect. It wsa like it cleared my mind of everything except what they were singing.
3. What you can take from this is if you put time into singing and work at it like you would at a sport, you could come away with a beautiful sound.
1)It seems that the people involved mostly are enjoying what they are doing and very focused as well as dedicated to what they are doing. They are very into it because they want to sound good and are serious and dont want to be the one that messes the sound up.
ReplyDelete2)The sound was very good one and as I listened I was reminded of space and looking at the moon or planets.
3)I can take from this video that it takes dedication and being seriuos about singing in order to be a successful choir.
1) All the people involved in this piece have a serious love for music.
ReplyDelete2) This piece calmed me down and made me smile.
3) One thing I can take from this video is how choir has the potential to lift my spirits in the middle of the day.
Wow it's weird that you poted this because I actually played a show with one of the sopranos last year. Timbre Cierpke, check her out, whatevs.
ReplyDelete1.) All of the performers are dedicated musicians and love what they do
2.) The piece was beautiful and made me really feel the music
3.) Confidence and love for the art. Nuff' Said
1. All of these people in this love music and show their dedication in how they sing and their facial expressions.
ReplyDelete2. This piece is one of the most calming and beautiful that I have every listened to.
3. What I take from this is that we can't just sing the music. We have to feel it and pour everything we have into the piece to make it as amazing and beautiful as possible.
1) I can see that each person loves what they are doing and have a dedication for doing what they love.
ReplyDelete2) This piece is one of the most calming pieces that i have ever listened to.
It took away all the trouble that i was thinking about in my head.
3) I can take from this video that it takes dedication and being seriuos about singing in order to be a successful choir.
1.) I see complete dedication in the peoples faces that are involved, they are this involved because choral music obviously means a great deal to them
ReplyDelete2.)This song made me feel awesome, because choral groups arent limited to a group standing on a physical stage.
3.)What I could take from this performance is dedication in order for me to grow as a choral musician.
1) First off I would like to say that this is very cool. Everyone who is involved shows that they absolutely love singing and show that they are dedicated.
ReplyDelete2) It made me feel very relaxed especially at the beginning. It also made me a bit sleepy.
3) I think that if we show dedication like these people do, we will sound better. If we are dedicated not only will we sound better but it will also be a lot more fun.
1) When I look at these people, I see a dedicated group of people who love what they do and enjoy doing what the do.
ReplyDelete2)Each piece was extremely beautiful and connected me indirectly to the musical blend that was feeling my room.
3)From this video I understand now that each and everyone of us must take Men's Chorus more seriously if we want to be successful and fluid in whatever we do. We are doing well so far, but there is definitely room for improvement.
1) Each person involved is really feeling the piece. They are focused and driven. Each rise and fall of the piece is echoed by each member of the choir in their face, body, and sound. By really becoming attached to the piece itself, the choir gains a sense of unity and focus that is unparalleled with any other sound they could've made. Perhaps they are so into this piece because it is just so beautiful. It's moving truly.
ReplyDelete2) I felt attached to the piece. It was good and each rise and fall of the voices sent me to another world. It was like I was on a journey, but a musical journey. I really liked the concept of the choir too. It's a little strange, but moving for sure. It's incredible how modern technology is capable of so much!
3) I can try to become more attached to each piece in a way that I become confident in what I have to sing and feel attached to the music as if it were a real memory.

ReplyDelete1) When you see the faces of the people, you see a focused look and they are determined to make a good sound. They are so into this because it is what they do so they try hard
ReplyDelete2) This peice really relaxes you. It kind of makes you think about the music and not distracted by anything else.
3)I think even if we dont love Men's Chorus like Mr williams does, we can still give him the most of our time with him. We can be dedicated when we are in the classroom or doing performances.
1)The people in this music are happy with the end result and focused. They know they are good and dont hide it.
ReplyDelete2) The sound was strong and powerful. It flowed and just worked.
3)We can take from this to just be better and work harder. That makes the end result better.
1. I think that they are so into this because there is no pressure from an audience and they all have come together for one goal and really believe in what they do.
ReplyDelete2. It made me feel good. I liked the concept and its cool that so many people got together and did this. I think that it comes across very genuine because everyone is just at their computers.
3. I can take that we are all on different levels. I think that we should be inspired by what has been done and it would be fun to do a piece like this. Confidence is always a main theme in everything coral.
1. I see dedication on the people's faces, they are focused on their music and only their music. Every person gives a taste of their own personality in their facial/body posture.
ReplyDelete2. I could tell this piece took time and effort, and it was sung with real passion. In a way, it was sorrowful and it seem to mean a lot to the performers. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
3. I believe I can take the appreciation of effort involved into this piece and bring that to the classroom. Our class has a lot of potential and i believe if we stop cutting up, we could accomplish a significant amount of complicated music.
1 when they are performing they have their world that there in and no one can presser them
ReplyDelete2 these piece seems that it took time and effort to make it the way that it was. i think that it was real and not stage or made up at the last second.
3 I think that which our effort in the class. we can make something special happen in this class
1) they seem very consentrated and into the moment. they seem to want to make it as perfect as possible and they did very well. it is like they know they are apart of something special and i thought i was done very well.
ReplyDelete2)it makes me really appreciate how music can be so beautiful without instruments involved. how voices alone and the diffrent tones working together to make an awesome piece of music. even though it was a slow piece you can still feel the energy and power.
3)i myself need to take the consentration and seriousness of the performers. though i may not like singing i need to be more serious for the sake of the choir as a whole.
1.WOW this is amazing,there was just so much passion and i am really happy to see it. So many people that are deticated to singing and love it so much that they would do this, it is increadible, if i had heard about ti i would have sent in a video of my own singing it....
ReplyDelete2. Well it made me envious because i wish i had known about it, but it was amazing and i made me happy to hear.
3.
1. Each looked focused on nothing but the song. They looked really into the song. probably because they felt comfortable singing by themselves in their own rooms.
ReplyDelete2. It made me feel relaxed. The soothing nature of the songs along with the odd video is what i think catches viewers/listeners.
3. Sing as if you are all alone in your room, and sing with confidence. Get into the song when you sing it
1. The people appear to be comfortable. They should feel this way because they are in an controlled setting.
ReplyDelete2. It was touching that ordinary people can posses a sound so great.
3. It gives me hope for what we can do as a group second semester.
1) these people obviously really love have a passion for music and seem to love music as well.
ReplyDelete2) this peice made me very happy to see how music can connect so many people from all over the world.
3)well we could learn the music so we wouldnt have to be staring at our music the whole time. and seem a little more energetic to be singing perhaps.
