Just me and some seconds of Vocal Madness

So, a "resolution" of mine is to finally stop being a coward and become the first (or one of the first) Jamaicans (who still reside in Jamaica) to contribute to Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir (this one's VC4) If you want to know more about Virtual Choir and probably try submitting and joining yourself click here. so yea, to this end I've made a SHORT foray into just singing again, I sight sang two bars of music for four vocal parts, SATB and layered them... and here you go!

SIDE NOTE:  I don't like that nasty intro while the title is going up either, but...meh

Blessings,

Some post Christmas Season Nostalgia...

So The alumni of Ardenne Music Club (my alma mater) decided to, in a fit of our usual routine, to sing an old carol from the "good old days" (yes...its 90% of the time a christmas carol that we sing...there was always something about singing carols at Ardenne) Behold our Quintet rendition of "O Come O Come Emanuel" (and because I was Idle, A fanfare that popped outta my head while I was amassing the Pics to make the video.
(^_^') Hope you enjoy, and as usual, Feedback Welcome!

Of music and youth..."The Unfinished String Quartet"

When I first discovered that the wild hums and sounds I'd make while doing a chore, walking, or even reading quietly were subconscious forays into the realm of music composition, I was excited to get right into the process of notation...Here was my first attempt at electronic notation. I wrote this in grade 9 in High school, to myself saying I would write one of the shortest string quartets complete with all four movements. using a free version of Noteworthy composer. I'm embarrassed to say all I can find of this is my handwritten score of the first movement and the midis that the unregistered programme allowed me to save in... but every so often I listen and remember the fun early days of reading music theory, and sharing with my friends In Music Club, the hours of reprieve from the usual drama of adolescence...
