Greetings!

I have been anxious to receive my music, which I sent for in the mail quite
a while ago. Now that my printer has taken a vacation, I am becoming
desperate. I will not be able to attend all rehearsals, so it is essential
that I learn my part ahead of time. Please check on this and advise.

Thanks,

Tessa,

 

I'm so sorry aout that.  I've been waiting to see if I got more requests because I haven't printed the booklets yet and the cost per booklet was based on a pretty large volume. I didn't realize you were unable to print the music from the website and thought you just wanted to get a bound copy so it looked nice, which is why I waited.

 

I will go ahead and print up a booklet for you and get it out in the next day or two.  My apologies.

Bruce,

I'm Frida, I posted back in April that I'm coming down to the
Lillies war from Northshield.  I've been getting the KWChoir list
for awhile now and never saw a sign up announcement for parts or
anything like that.  Also there has never been an annoucement of
when practices will be during the war.  The Lillies website is, as a
Calontir friend put it, woefully inaccurate, and I would like to get
the info from the source.

I am a mezzo/soprano II but can also sing alto I if necessary.  Is
there still room?  Sorry, I'm not bringing any tenors or basses with
me from Korsvag, as we are woefully lacking in the gentlemen
department.

When are rehearsals going to be?  I won't be arriving at site until
the evening of the 13th.  Is that too late?  If so, that's fine too,
I'll come watch your concert.

Thanks,
Frida fra Korsvag

Hello All-

Lilies will soon be upon us- the link to the schedule showing
rehearsals is
http://www.calontir.sca.org/lilieswar/lilieswar.php?
primary=schedule&secondary=none

Rehearsal will be from 11:30-1:30 Wednesday-Friday and 10;00-12:00
Saturday.  Performance Saturday evening before court.

I am still woefully short of Tenors/Basses.  This practice does NOT
interfere with much if any of the fighting, so there is no excuse!
(I fight too)  Ladies, strong arm your Lords into coming- they will
be glad they did!

See you at the War!

Brice

Hello,

This is the first year I'll be participating in the Pennsic Choir.
I'm excited already!

I noticed on the schedule that the day of our concert we have a dress
rehearsal a few hours beforehand.  My question is what we should wear
for the dress rehearsal and concert.

I can't wait for August!

Good luck to all those heading out to Lillies.  I hope to hear great
stories of your experiences!!   Give Brice your full attention...
don't give him TOO hard a time... be supportive and most of all, have
fun and enjoy the experience!  You'll be part of something really
wonderful, the First KWC at Lillies.  I'm so proud of everyone.
   Have a good WAR!!!!

This is an evil/ugly email worm that appears to be targeting Yahoo's new
groups email format.  I recommend that the moderator(s) turn
*attachments *OFF* so that if another one does get here, it can't be
propagated from here.

In case you see this first **DON"T** open the other one.  I'd also
recommend that the moderators delete it from the message archives to
prevent it from happening in the future.

Hi folks, this is the second time I've tried to post this message
today.  Here's hoping this one goes through.

As Jerusha explained, DO NOT OPEN the emails coming through the KWC
site labeled "New Graphic Site."

They are some sort of new virus attack and have been wreaking havoc
with email.  They are coming through from other sources, not just the
KWC Yahoo Group, and they are not being caught by any of the usual
Virus protection so BE CAREFUL and do not open ANY of these messages.

Regarding Jerusha's suggestion, I am a moderator and do not have
privileges to block attachments or make changes of that sort to the
group, but I have emailed Lady Erlan, who is the list owner, and asked
her to make those changes as soon as possible.

I have also reported the problem to Yahoo.

Erlan

Unto the fantastic musicians of the KWC come warm (and exhausted)
greetings from Brice Le Raton, the lucky conductor of the first
annual Lilies Known World Choir.

I want to thank everyone who participated this year in our
performance.  Despite some setbacks with performance times and
venues, we were able to accomplish our first performance on Saturday
evening with 20 fantastic singers and put on great show.

Everyone did a great job dealing with the challenges that came up.
The first challenge that came up was a common one.  On Wednesday
when I got to the war and we had our first rehearsals, we had 1
bass.  Yep, just one.  So, in the hopes that we would get a few
more, we went over the treble parts and I had to seriously revaluate
what I wanted to perform.  Fortunately, the anchor pieces for the
concert were the Kyrie and Sanctus from the Byrd Mass for 3 voices,
so we were OK with a few more basses there.  But the 4 part Arcadelt
and Morley pieces were right out…. Panic time for Brice!

I had thrown my back out about 3 weeks prior to the war. (This ended
up working out for the best, sort of)   Since I live close enough to
day trip and sleeping on the ground would probably have left me
wishing I were dead, I was going home every night.  So Wednesday
night I went home and selected 2 & 3-part music to replace those
pieces, and Thursday lo and behold, I had FIVE basses (really,
really GREAT ones too) come to rehearsal.  (Still no tenors
though).

Thursday, Friday and Saturday we had some outstanding and fun
rehearsals, culminating with a performance at the Barony of
Forgotten Sea party Saturday night following the Fireworks show.  I
had great apprehensions about performing outside by torchlight, but
it all worked out OK.  After we started singing, people started
coming from all over to listen, and we got wonderful audience
response.  Several people asked us if we had a recording…  go
figure.

The final program ended up:

Ah, Robyn  - Wm. Corynsh
Four Arms, Two Necks, One Wreathing – Thomas Weelkes
Je' Nos et Tre Content – Certon (2 part chanson for women's voice
w/recorders doubling)
Kyrie – Mass for 3 Voices - Byrd
Sanctus – Mass for 3 Voices – Byrd

Not the 6 pieces I had planned on originally, but still a solid
program and a wonderful performance.

We learned some lessons about doing the KWC at Lilies this year.
First lesson is not to depend on the scheduling whims of the Crown.
We were originally scheduled to perform prior to main Court on
Saturday, but the various permutations of weather and Crown whims
demolished that plan.  Next year we will have a separate time in the
afternoon that will not be dependent on last minute changes to court
plans.

We will also get music out sooner and have things broken out into
rehearsal parts as well.

I am excited about next year!  I think we are off to a great start
and will do even bigger and better things in the future.

BTW, for anyone coming to the Kris Kinder Event in December in the
Barony of Forgotten Sea, Calontir (Kansas City), I will be putting
together our annual yuletide performance again this year.  I will be
posting music for that here on the KWC site for anyone interested.

Yours in service to music in the known world.

and will do even bigger and better things in the future.

BTW, for anyone coming to the Kris Kinder Event in December in the
Barony of Forgotten Sea, Calontir (Kansas City), I will be putting
together our annual yuletide performance again this year. I will be
posting music for that here on the KWC site for anyone interested.

Yours in service to music in the known world.

Subject: [KWChoir] A plea to Pennsic Choir sopranos

A week or so back I asked sopranos who registered to sing with the Pennsic Choir to consider switching to alto. 

So far I have had two volunteers.

 

I could really use another five.

 

Any other takers?

Congratulations to Brice Le Raton, the lucky conductor of the first
annual Lilies Known World Choir.

I noticed that you used "annual" which indicates to me that it was a
positive enough experience to DO IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR.......

This is very much like watching a child grow up.....

I hope that everyone had a wonderful time.......and I look forward to
hearing rehearsal stories and feed back from the participants...

Maybe some pictures....

Great Job.... to EVERYONE!!

Is it too late to register for this year?  If not,
while I usually do tenor, I can switch to alto (or
soprano and occasionally bass.) with no problem.  At
times I've read more than one part in a single peice.

How wonderful!
I hope to be resident in Calontir before next Lilies, and will *try*
to join the Choir.  I sing low alto and can sometimes handle a high
tenor part.  :-)
You programmed some of my favorite composers... how could I not be
there??

Erlan,

Yep, I'm planning on doing it again next year, but better. It was an
amazing good time (for me at least, and I hope for everyone else) and
next year we will even have better performance conditions (i.e., not
outdoors by torchlight in a stiff wind- very period, but not the most
condusive of conditions for choral performance :-)

I look forward to seeing everyone back next year and meeting more of
you.

YIS

Subject: [KWChoir] Lilies KWC Inaugural Performance

Unto the fantastic musicians of the KWC come warm (and exhausted)
greetings from Brice Le Raton, the lucky conductor of the first
annual Lilies Known World Choir.

I want to thank everyone who participated this year in our
performance. Despite some setbacks with performance times and
venues, we were able to accomplish our first performance on Saturday
evening with 20 fantastic singers and put on great show.

Everyone did a great job dealing with the challenges that came up.
The first challenge that came up was a common one. On Wednesday
when I got to the war and we had our first rehearsals, we had 1
bass. Yep, just one. So, in the hopes that we would get a few
more, we went over the treble parts and I had to seriously revaluate
what I wanted to perform. Fortunately, the anchor pieces for the
concert were the Kyrie and Sanctus from the Byrd Mass for 3 voices,
so we were OK with a few more basses there. But the 4 part Arcadelt
and Morley pieces were right out…. Panic time for Brice!

I had thrown my back out about 3 weeks prior to the war. (This ended
up working out for the best, sort of) Since I live close enough to
day trip and sleeping on the ground would probably have left me
wishing I were dead, I was going home every night. So Wednesday
night I went home and selected 2 & 3-part music to replace those
pieces, and Thursday lo and behold, I had FIVE basses (really,
really GREAT ones too) come to rehearsal. (Still no tenors
though).

Thursday, Friday and Saturday we had some outstanding and fun
rehearsals, culminating with a performance at the Barony of
Forgotten Sea party Saturday night following the Fireworks show. I
had great apprehensions about performing outside by torchlight, but
it all worked out OK. After we started singing, people started
coming from all over to listen, and we got wonderful audience
response. Several people asked us if we had a recording… go
figure.

The final program ended up:

Ah, Robyn - Wm. Corynsh
Four Arms, Two Necks, One Wreathing – Thomas Weelkes
Je' Nos et Tre Content – Certon (2 part chanson for women's voice
w/recorders doubling)
Kyrie – Mass for 3 Voices - Byrd
Sanctus – Mass for 3 Voices – Byrd

Not the 6 pieces I had planned on originally, but still a solid
program and a wonderful performance.

We learned some lessons about doing the KWC at Lilies this year.
First lesson is not to depend on the scheduling whims of the Crown.
We were originally scheduled to perform prior to main Court on
Saturday, but the various permutations of weather and Crown whims
demolished that plan. Next year we will have a separate time in the
afternoon that will not be dependent on last minute changes to court
plans.

We will also get music out sooner and have things broken out into
rehearsal parts as well.

I am excited about next year! I think we are off to a great start
and will do even bigger and better things in the future.

BTW, for anyone coming to the Kris Kinder Event in December in the
Barony of Forgotten Sea, Calontir (Kansas City), I will be putting
together our annual yuletide performance again this year. I will be
posting music for that here on the KWC site for anyone interested.

Yours in service to music in the known world.
