I created a YouTube channel in order to upload the following recordings. The recordings show the variety of ways the Singing Group makes music.
Splitting by Gender
Christmas Isn't Christmas is a very simple arrangement, with everyone singing in unison for the chorus and the ladies singing the verse on their own.
|
Singing Group leader, Mike Hay, wrote the lyrics to this rendition of Highland Cathedral. After the first verse, which is sung in unison, the men add a harmony in all of the subsequent verses.
|
Adding Instruments
Everyone sings in unison throughout Calipso Carol but maracas and bells were added to the chorus.
|
Mary's Boy Child had flute and trumpet accompanying the Singing Group. Again, everyone was singing in unison.
|
Making Things Complicated
Father We Adore You has a very simple melody, but the Singing Group sang it as a round with three voices.
|
In the Bleak Midwinter was sung by a smaller group (three men and three women) selected from the Singing Group. The soloist at the beginning is Mike Hay, Singing Group Leader.
