Community Singers of Charlotte is a non-auditioned intergenerational folk chorus whose purpose is to promote peace through music. We practice 7-8:30 on Tuesdays at Plantation Estates Retirement Community in the auditorium. We welcome new members and visitors. We usually perform in the community on the second Tuesday of each month. This blog has information for chorus members such as updates on practices, performances, links to music files and songsheets.

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.

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