My choir Schola Cantorum, Silicon Valley performed this just weeks before the pandemic shut us all down. We are thinking of you in Conspirare, and of all choral singers and accompaniests as we face an almost-certain two year hiatus. This performance by Conspirare is exquisite - congratulations!
I don't doubt for a second that I would be just as happy as those singers look if I got to sing a piece as beautiful as this.
Exquisite pianist!
What an inspiring and inspiriting piece!! So naturally clever. And what a wonderful choir!! 'Another glorious day…"
I will have the privilege of singing this piece with The Philadelphia Chorus in April! Not sure how I'm going to get through it, though...I weep from the beauty of this piece every time I hear it!
Having the honor of singing this soon - cannot wait to tackle this beautiful piece of music
Who will you be singing with?
So good!
Oh how I wish I could study conducting from you, Craig... Texas would be my number one choice hands down for a masters and/or doctorate.
Look into Texas State University's Choral Program. He is on faculty as an artist-in-residence! He was the director of my choir the last semester of my undergrad there! He is incredible!!
Stephen Richardson Wait actually?? That’s my dream school for MT and want to continue my choral training too
indeed sir; do you perhaps perform masterclasses choir conducting? Maybe even online? I live in the Netherlands. And may I - being a singing techer as well - compliment you on the beautiful way you are singing
