Rehearsal Blog
Witty. Pithy. True (mostly).
- Published on
This Monday evening we are at the Blue Hill Congregational Church on Tenney Hill for sectional rehearsals. To prep for this please work on the following pieces:
As part of our campaign to make Chorale rehearsals more fun, Bronwyn is hoping she doesn't have to stop us, and stop us, and stop us to remind us, and remind us, and remind us, how make some of the basic vowel sounds etc. that we should all be working to make second nature. I would recommend you listen closely to the recording of Pilgrim's Hymn on the What Are We Singing page. That is how we should sing and sound. That recording is by the Dale Warland singers who practically invented Singlish and who Bronwyn considers the yardstick by which all other choruses are measured.
So please leave your Americanized English at the door with the language check person (no tipping please) and enter rehearsals in your altogether Singlish sound. Make the Bagaduce Great Again! Only Singlish sung here! (Note: no wall was built during the creation of this communication)
- Hodie Christus Natus Est
- Ave Maris Stella
- Pilgrim's Hymn
- Angel Breathing Out

actually Pilgrim's Hymn is sung by the Mormon Tabernacle, but there pretty good at Singlish, though not as good as the Dale Warland folks or the Phoenix Chorale for that matter.
I used to be part of a chorale group back when I was still an elementary student. It was fun because you get the chance to unleash your talent and let it be heard by people. At the same time, you gain friends who have the same passion as you. Personally, it paved way for a lot of opportunities for me and I couldn't be more thankful that I made the right decision of joining the group. The rehearsals may be draining, but it will always be fun!
