Choir Recording Session I

Tonight at seven thirty we started recording for our choir's fundraiser CD. The loft was miked up, Don directed us with Ken at the mighty von Beckerath. A photographer from the Diocesan newspaper, Chuck, was shooting. Matthew Craig had arranged for Pittsburgh native Dino DiStefano to record us.

We recorded:
Christmas Lullaby (John Rutter)
Who Is the One We Love the Most (Carl Schalk)
Where Shepards Lately Knelt (Carl Schalk)
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Silent Night (Franz Gruber, Joseph Mohr transl. by John F. Young)
Sir Christemas (William Mathias)
A Sound of Angels (Christopher Tye)
Coventry Carol (arr. by Martin Shaw)
Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming (Michael Praetorius)
O Magnum Mysterium (Peter Mathews)

We had warmed up for the evening with the rousing Hark! the Herald Angels Sing (for balancing sound levels), among other pieces.
