Well everyone, the East kingdom CHorale had an interesting rehearsal
at War of the Roses..... not many in attendance however what
troupers.  It was windy, it was cold...it was Memorial Day
weekend...it was sunny, it was cloudy, it was cold....but yet they
came and sang and gave it their all.
     Unfortunately there were not enough voices to actually perform
the concert, however that did not stop the musicians there at War of
the Roses.......for the voices got together with other musicians and
we strategically put together a pre-court concert with Period
music...to include recorders.....voices and violin.
    Mistress Deonna van Achen was trememdously amazing in pulling out
music at the drop of a hat, filling in as tenor and alto AT THE SAME
TIME.... (grin)  and it came together.

    Thank you to everyone who participated, your willingness to
participate and ability to be flexable was much appreciated.  I hope
that more impromptu music will happen, more EKCHorale will happen and
in general, more period appropriate music to augment the Courts and
events of our East Kingdom.

Well, the Barren Sands people will mostly be around.  Except Gilbert, our most
reliable note-reading baritone.  The problem is that some of us (read pretty
much all of us) have other duties since it is our own little war.  Maida's the
autocrat.  Genevieve is Exchequer so she is coping with Troll.  I'm teaching. 
William is Seneschal...We're around.  It is just a matter of when you can grab
us away to sing.

Hello all
    Sorry about all the spam lately......I"ve tried to stop it before
most of you read the lists.......
    What might help.......is if when you sign up for your
profile......fill it out a little bit more, let the people on the
list know about your musical interests........
    Just to let you know.....if a person remains on the list who does
not fill out the profile or let me know that you're ligitimate, I
might have to limit or restrict the posts.....
   Perhaps just until this spam-a-thon is over.........

Thanks

Your moderator,
Erlan

I sent the plea for basses to the SCA Musicians group.  Maybe we can
scare up a few there...

I'll try a couple other groups I'm in, too.

Greetings List members all!

I have sent out a plea to the members of the SCA bards and
AEthelmearc bards lists to try and gather some basses.

And just a brief introduction, although I know I'll meet you all at
War. . .
I am a Celtic bard from the Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands in
the kingdom of AEthelmearc.  As a bard I sing a lot of ballads. . .
you know, the sad love song types.  I used to sing in a variety of
choirs and choruses in highschool and college, and I'm looking
forward to participating in the Known World Choir.

YIS&S,
~Lady Ca'era, BMDL

A few years ago......I made these laminated posters,
actually a choir member did them for me.....and I
posted them up all over the place
Erlan needs men
or something like that......
and I got a lot of results.
of course most of them thought I was a fighter putting
together a unit........but I did get a few men out of
it.
Oh and one year, part of our war payment was 2 tenors,
yes I am serious.  Norseland hired other fighters for
our unit and WE were getting paid, and part of that
payment were 2 men.  One of them was also to carry my
things up from the Bog to the rehearsal tent.
   I just thought that was funny and wanted to share
that with you.

Also, Ann ----if you're in a bind, I can come and play
some rehearsals for you.  Recorder or keyboard, just
let me know!

Erlan

Hello,  I saw one introduction in the group, and thinking it would be nice
to sort of meet more people before we meet I though I'd introduce myself
next.

Hello, I am a member of Markland, so I'm not technically in the SCA like
I'm sure most or all of you are.  However, I think the SCA is great.  I am
a student at The College of New Jersey where I am president of our
medieval organization, Order of the Golden Lion.  I was last years Royal
Bard of Markland and you may have heard me heralding for us last Pennsic
(I have a very high-pitched voice, and seemed to get Markland some strange
attention).  I sing in a church choir and TCNJ's college chorale.
Previously I have been in high school choirs, and TCNJ's other two choral
groups.  That's about it.  See you at Pennsic!

Natalia Yashovna

I am Lady Catherine MacUrsus from the Barony of Blackstone Mountain
in the Kingdom of Aethelmarc.  I was in the choir Mistress Anne's
first year directing and am excited about singing again.  [Anyone who
can wear full late period in 90+ degree heat with 90+% huminity in a
Grimms tent is someone not to be triffled with. ;->]

I have a question about the music for Pensic.  I have been assigned
the A/T line in the Pasttime with Good Company.  Music logic would
have this as the middle line of music.  But this is a song written by
a man for I would suspect men to sing so could this be the top line
of music.

Sorry for the stupid question.

Catherin

Continuing to look at the music.  I love to sing in Latin.  On the Ave
Maria, the alto line seems rather high.  (I think I strained something
trying to sing it this morning.)  Could the alto and soprano lines be
switched?

Catherine

Greetings from hot, humid Meridies;

I've been lurking in the hopes I might attend this year. Unfortunately,
no.  It comes down to a new harp or Pennsic.  With any luck, I can
bring the new harp next year.

So, in an attempt to vicariously experience at least a part of
Pennsic...what is the program?  Could I purchase a copy of the music
for our local South Downs Chorusters?

Catherine,

The second line in Pasttime is the Alto/Tenor line.  Be aware that the
treble clef has that little subscript 8 in it, so the line is actually
an octave down from what is written.  I had a brief moment of panic
before I noticed that myself.  :)

Catherine,

The alto line in Ave Maria is actually an octave below what is written
in the PDF, although it isn't annotated there.  I have another copy of
the piece where this is clear.  The alto MIDI file is in the correct
octave, though.

Please don't strain your voice!!  :)

Hi Vitha!

There is a link to "Parts" where you can look up your part assignments
for each piece; you're in there, so take a look!

Nope - you can't "purchase" a thing.  The music is on-line now.

Well, I still intend to play with the Ave to make it less pages, and there
are some flats in this edition of the Batten which I really don't like and
need to take out.  But the program is at:

Hello, Everyone!

My name's Megan O'Connor (Mairghread inghean ui Chonchobhair, sorry
my name's so long, I realized it was the only one that took up two
lines, but I tried to do a direct translation. ^_^;; ), I live in
Daphne, AL (Osprey) and go to college in New Orleans (Axemoor).
This will be my first Pennsic, and I'm very excited to be
participating in this choir.  I haven't sung with the SCA before,
but have sung in choir competitions in Latin and German in grade
school, junior high, and high school.  So far I'm having a lot of
fun learning the music.  I look forward to meeting and singing with
you all!

Hey there........I wish you could be there also....I KNOW that
you'd be a big help to Mistress Anne, I've mentioned that you
are always a HUGE help to me.....and of course your strong alto
will be missed.  By the way, I think I still have the slide
whistle......

    You should really start thinking about Gulf Wars....and being
a contact / organizer for 2005.  I know that there is some
interest bouncing around.......I would REALLY like to see a
KWC@GulfWars...................
