Acapella

Post by Uncle Al »

When I first heard this, THAT SOUND, sent shivers up and down my spine :shaking:

Please enjoy these two examples of excellent Acapella Music :D

The first type of music, harmonic vocalizations - no instruments.
The execution of these performances show dedication to the art.

CANTUS: America The Beautiful arr. Paul John Rudoi

CANTUS: Ave Maria by Franz Biebl

I'll just drop this here for when folks have time for some serious listening to frequently less than serious Men:

(There is often at least one (Utili)kilt wearing member. Not me, although I was mistaken for him the first year at one their first festivals in the UK.)

Thank you both Al and Floatingmetal for some new music to listen to, this early Sunday morning.
Daily, a happy man in a skirt...

Great fun, of course, but my preference is for mixed a-capella, that means with alto & soprano voices too. In an earlier incarnation in Hampshire UK I ran a relatively small choir of about three dozen voices for about a dozen years.
We delivered lots of short peices a-capella, but the sound of mixed voices appeals to me more.

I am booked to sing with a mixed a capella group for a memorial service at the end of the week. A good programme: Victoria Requiem (opening section), Lauridsen O magnum mysterium, and the last part of Byrd's Mass for four voices.
