for SATB div. choir a cappella “Today” is painted with broad, generous, colorful strokes, inviting us into a scene of light and glorious harmony. Some rapid shifts in tonality bring out fresh colors, but never overwhelm the brightness and warmth of E major. The dense, homophonic writing is balanced by clean textures and consonant resolutions. A wonderful opener, this piece will bring an audienc...

    I know Tracy Wong ex choir teacher from Young Choral Academy since 2007-2008. In 2015 she studied choral conducting in Canada 🇨🇦 and graduated then after finishing all of her studies she becomes a doctor lecturing at universities in Canada working doing on singing. Like me our voice range is soprano and we love kids.

    If I had a wish of what I wanted VOCES8 to perform it would be this list: 1. Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven (I don't think he will mind) 2. Top Gun opening theme - off vocal (no versed vocals, just the backing music to the vocals) for example listen to: ua-cam.com/video/gbyoNrwA_Gk/v-deo.html 3. The Little Old Lady (From Pasadena) by Jan Berry with Don Altfeld and Roger Christian; recorded about 1964 by pop singers, Jan & Dean - recording quality not very good so musical interpretation will be challenged as to how to produce and execute to VOCES8 standard. [In my opinion, all recordings heard of this song are too slow thus making it a boring listening session - VOCES8 can bring some life and fun encore type song]

    Beautiful and inspiring. Worth noting that the words were written by a German pietist lady in the 17th century. The music is part of Sibelius' Finlandia, a hymn challenging Russian oppression of Finland at the time. Matheson only did the arrangement!!

    I’m there with that bass line. Matheson I think knows he was a channel, a ‘hollow reed’ transmitting what was given to him. I don’t believe great art is ever ‘made’ only the person is found that gives expression to it. May all who pursue callings rest in this. Oh, and practice like mad.
