"Benediction: May We All Find Home"
Virtual Choir 2020
Stephen is bringing together singers worldwide to participate in a virtual performance of "Benediction: May We All Find Home."
Whether you've performed the song before or not, You're invited to become a part of our virtual community as we build this awesome choral music video.
HERE'S HOW TO BE INVOLVED:
1) Access this Google Folder to access sheet music and recordings.
(Note: There are a couple small discrepancies in this earlier version of the sheet music. There are some written notes that address them.)
2) Check out the demo of the song in the folder or the renditions in the playlist at the bottom of this page. You can find your individual part plunked out in this folder as well.
3) Use headphones or earpiece so that the video picks up your voice only!
4) Record a video of yourself singing your part. You can record to any of the files in the folder. The first two sections will be split up into solos/duets/small groups, so feel free to put your own signature on your solo! Don't sweat it if your recording isn't perfect- we'll only use the best parts of your video, and edit out anything held too short or too long, etc.)
5) Upload your video to your own Google Drive or Dropbox (and make sure it's sharable). Please name your file using your first and last name, as well as your vocal part (i.e. 'stephenelkinstenor.wav')
6) Fill out this Google Form to submit your personal info and link to your file.
HAVE FUN, and then forward this to any friends, colleagues, or students that might be interested!
Can't wait to see the magic we're going to create!
Thanks,
Stephen Anthony Elkins
