Summer 2010 Repertoire (updated 23 Feb)

Yes, despite the cloudy skies and wet weather the summer season really is starting today! To give you an idea of our repertoire I have searched YouTube to collate what the Pink Singers will be learning over the next 4 months (our concert is on Saturday the 19th of June 2010!). Not everything is here of course. For instance, the lower voices will be performing a medley called The Music Of The Chiffons, but as far as I can tell there is no TTBB recording available on-line. As for the rest, well, where possible I tried to go for the choral arrangement, but this wasn't always possible. What I will observe, looking at everything in aggregate, is just how diverse our repertoire relly is!

April Is My Mistress' Face


Choo Choo Ch'Boogie


Come Again


Does Your Mother Know?


Gloria In Excelsis Deo - Vivaldi


Send In The Clowns


Sh-Boom


Time To Say Goodbye


Voir Sur Ton Chemin (this is the one for the upper voices)


Cloudburst (there is an Eric Whitacre song in the repertoire, I just don't know which it is, so I thought I'd post this amazing version of Cloudburst). (Note the song we will be performing is With A Lily In Your Hand - see the update below)


Glory of Love (this is the version the barbershop quartet will be performing including the really difficult sustained A♭ ending by the tenor)


Update: Here is are the confirmed track from Eric Whitacre
With A Lily In Your Hand
Beautiful, and challenging - I don't think we have tried polyphonic singing before. And if we sound half as good as the choir Polyphony (who are masters of this art form) I will be amazed.
