Forum message: Gilbert Martin's "Of the Father's Love Begotten"
I like the piece but it is only for keyboard. Has anyone "orchestrated" it perhaps with strings and harp? Thanks in advance.
Forum message: Unusual voicing repertoire
I have, what I call, an "upside down" church choir. While some people are looking for SAB music for small choirs I need WTB anthems for my small church choir (18 voices). I have pretty good basses and tenors but struggle with sopranos and altos. We do traditional church music and I would apprec...
Forum message: Schubert G Major Mass
I'm looking for a recording of the Schubert Mass which uses brass and woodwinds (from later discovered parts). Does anyone know if the Shaw/Atlanta Symphony use this orchestration? Thanks in advance. Robert.
Forum message: Looking for recordings
I'm looking for any recordings (professional or not) of Emma Lou Diemer's "Laughing Song" and/or "The Bells." Does anyone know of recordings. Dr. Diemer does not know of any available. Perhaps someone have a performance recording they could loan me.? Thank you in advance. Robert.

Comment: Re: Zoom H-4N vs. Edirol R-09

Comment: Re: Recording Rehearsals
I record almost everyone of my rehearsals particularly as we get closer to concert time. I have a small handheld "Zoom" on a mic stand and hit the record button off and on during rehearsals. Then we put the rehearsal recording on our website for members (only) to listen to. The response has been ve...
Archives: Other: Ceremony Of Carols decision
I have decided not to do the SATB arrangement of the Britten "Ceremony ofCarols". As I suspected most responders agreed that the voicing is "just notright" and is probably not true to Britten's conception of the piece.Thanks to all who joined in the discussion.Robert. Robert F.
