Hi, Guys!! I'm new here, but i found this thread because I was search for a virtual choir to perform a piece that I just wrote for My Fiancée, My Love. The text is "There Will be Rest" by Sara Teasdale. here is the score and the audio for it. There Will Be Rest1.pdf There Will Be Rest.wav Also I used Sibelius 6 to write it with, so I can create .wav file of each individual part to help everyone learn the piece. In addition, I think the way to synchronize everyone in recording the performance is for everyone to follow the same video file of a conductor conducting the piece. I can conduct pretty decently and would be happy to provide a video on me conducting the piece.

Absolutely, Sofie. I, myself, would love to take advantage of this new medium for several things I'm working on. And I'm sure others feel the same way.

Hopefully if this works well, we could try and get more projects like this going :)

Ok, so, thus far we have Sofie on soprano, Elizabeth (jesusfreak1277) on soprano & alto, Danny & prestidigilicious on the men's parts (I'm not sure what range though, please tell). William (pianoman216) has also agreed to help out and I can sing baritone & most of the 2nd tenor lines. 6 singers so far, in just a few days; if this keeps up, we will have a full choir in no time. I also, I was thinking that it might be possible to record the parts and real time performance dynamics with vocaloid. That way we can all have "someone" singing the lines with us so that we can follow. I have vocaloid, but am not to proficient as using and programming it. Anyone who reads this thread and would like to help out with the performance in that way, please let me know. Ok, here are the recordings of the individual parts to help everyone learn the notes: there will be rest soprano 1.wav there will be rest soprano 2.wav there will be rest alto 1.wav there will be rest alto 2.wav there will be rest tenor 1.wav there will be rest tenor 2.wav there will be rest bass 1.wav there will be rest bass 2.wav

Great, Sofie! thanks for you participation. I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback about the piece as well.

Would be happy to sing the soprano part(s), could have a go at the alto, stays in the low range a little too much for where my voice sits, but I'm sure it would be fine :)

Wow, that is pretty incredible!... forget about my earlier criticism of the musicians, then. They deserve a lot of respect. But I would still love to hear a recording of this piece by a band that has spent several hours rehearsing it. Also, I'd agree that this could potentially be hot on the market for high schools

I don't have a good voice at all, but I can sight-sing, and will help out with a few parts if the response isn't overwhelming.

I really REALLY enjoyed this piece. I am looking forward to being apart of this!!

Thanx. I will get the conducting vid. as soon as I can. Also, about the piece, what do you think of it? What is your feedback?

I hope you don't mind- I gave you your own thread so your choir doesn't get mixed up with someone elses. Also, count me in as a female voice (either soprano or alto...doesn't matter). Upload a video of you conducting, and I also think split audio files would be a good idea.

From the intro, I was hooked. I really like the feel of the introduction. I could not get the score to open; probably just my computer. I love your variation of woodwind and brass melodies. I can definitely see this telling a story. No weak sections at all. Nice work!

It sounds very much like something that a high school band would play for a contest or band festival (as in, it's of that quality). Nice job! samcan

There are a lot of things I like about this piece, but I really wish you had a better recording of this - it kind of distracts from trying to judge the piece instead of the players. That said, I love the theme at 2:32. I also like the Star Wars inspirations throughout (eg. 5:15). I am currently a high school senior and I definitely could not finish something of this caliber, so good job
