This crowd can sing!

Hallelujah

I found this great YouTube of Leonard Cohen singing his song "Hallelujah".  I love the way the chorus comes in with the hallelujahs.  The Shrek vesion leaves out two of the verses that we sang with Dale last week and they are my favorites.  Here is a YouTube lesson I have posted with the chord progression and some harmonies for the hallelujahs.

Dona Nobis Pacem

Here are several recordings and YouTube's that might be of interest to you:

"Dona Nobis Pacem" 

This is what I recorded last night at practice.

"Pachelbel's Canon" 

This is a lesson that I posted on my blog a while ago of the warm up that we have been singing in practice.  

"Kappee"

This is the Finish song we are working on if you'd like to hear it performed by the group who wrote it.  Their name is Varttina.

Everyday People

Listen to Sly and the Family Stone singing "Everyday People".  I would like for us to sing this.  It has a great message of peace and acceptance and a style that we do not have in our repertoire.  Don't quite know how we would pull off the horn section.  Any ideas?
