Greetings to those of you visiting my blog for the first time! I was informed that I am a "Blog of Note" today and I thank you for coming to my blog and seeing what I have to say.
I love everything related to choral music because there is a genesis of intense musical energy when a group of singers are all focused on the same goal. It is truly amazing when you are able to feel the physical energy of the singer next to you, as you feel the silent expansion of their lungs, and the blending of multiple voices to form a unified acoustic waveform radiating towards the audience. I try to blog about choir related topics ranging from choir uniforms to unique touring experiences; however, I love all things related to music, whether it is discovering new artists or composing my own pieces, all these areas inspire my posts as well.
Thank you again for visiting and happy reading! I hope to hear your thoughts in the comment sections!
the tree is also enjoying choral music with you.
ReplyDeletehow beautiful.

Your blog is really cute! I'm in choir too!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on Blogger of Note. I love music. Music sang by a church choir, oldies blaring from my radio or the sweet sound of soft jazz all feed the soul. I loved the tree pic. Have a wonderfully blessed day!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulationz ! Your blog deserves it.....
ReplyDeletejoliiieeesss:-)
Hello,
ReplyDeleteSo nice to come across your blog, and that it is an Edmonton-based blog!
As a choirgirl myself for 30 years, I'm glad to see that choirs are still attracting people, and appreciating all the amazing experiences choirs bring to ones life.
I look forward to reading more.

Thats nice work...
ReplyDeleteI love the look of your blog! Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I used to be in the school chorus way back in elementary and jr high school. I miss those days.
ReplyDeleteHey, congratulations! Its so good to hear that there are other music lovers in blogspot. My blog is also about music. If you could follow my blog, and i followed yours, it would be great. The blogs complement each other well, and it would benefit both of our sites.
ReplyDeleteHi, congrats on having your blog a blog of note! You have a really nice blog here. Btw the picture of the cherry trees on this post is absolutely gorgeous. Having such a successful blog, I was wondering if you could give me some feedback on mine? it would be much appreciated :)

Congrats on being the blog of note! I was in choir for 9 years, and you're right. There's nothing like the way the harmonies sound when everyone gets it just right, the nervous energy the choir as a whole has before going up on stage...I love music, and I love singing! I'm glad to meet a fellow blogger who feels the same way about music.
ReplyDeleteIf you have time, please feel free to check out my blog, Butterflies and Hurricanes.

HAHAHAHAHA! Sibling rivalry = awesome!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, man. Power to you!
Congrats, nice blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Choirgirl,
ReplyDeleteI noticed your site because I have a fairly recent love of choir music. A few years ago the choir director of 41 years retired from our church choir.
I play piano and viola and have played in an orchestra for most of my life. I figured I had more experience than anyone else, so I volunteered to be her replacement.
How could I know I'd fall in love with that sound. When the voices blend just right, swell, diminish, etc. So beautiful. And as a director, I learned the magic all directors must feel of "holding" all that music in my arms. I am eternally grateful for that experience.
Hope you continue enjoying your choir experience as well.
Congrats on being the Blog of Note today.
ReplyDeleteI haven't sung in a regular choir in 30 years. 8 years ago I got to be the soloist for "Comfort Ye" in a Handel's Messiah community choir performance. What a privilege.
I love to listen to choirs, but has anyone figured out a way to record a large choir such that one can hear all the parts? It seems the tenors usually get covered by the altos and basses in the recordings I have heard.
hi! i know we are writting two very different blogs about two very different things, i adore your style of writting! by reading just a few of your posts, i then understood choir and its surrounding aspects and found them very interesting. :)
ReplyDelete-emma
p.s. maybe read my blog? lol :)
Singing isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I can clearly see that it is yours. It has been awhile since I have seen someone so dedicated to a form of art like I see in you, and I must say I love it. Your passion for singing and your amazing writing abilities make for a beautiful blog. Many wishes for the future :)
ReplyDeleteHey choir girl. This is my first time on your blog. I am actually new to blogger. I really admire you for having such strong opinions when it comes to music. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, great blog. Music is medicine. It cures a multitude of human malades.
ReplyDeleteCheers!

ReplyDeleteJust happened to stumble upon your "blog of note." It is quite lovely, and I'm glad to see you have the same passion for choir as I do! You hit the nail on the head describing the experience! I'm excited for my choir to start up in a little over a week! I am just itching to get back into it! I will be following you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on making blog of note! You write beautifully.

Hey there! I really like your blog! I used to do some choral performances as well. I was fortunate enough to make it into the Texas All-State Men's Choir. But nowadays I simply post videos of me performing certain pieces on YouTube. If you have time, and don't mind helping out an unknown Vocalist/Composer, I'd greatly appreciate it if you took the time to watch some of my videos. :) Thanks, and have a great day!
ReplyDeleteyet another visitor here via 'blogs of note'. i enjoyed reading your blog, congrats. :)
ReplyDeleteYAY! another choir lover! i almost diead last year not being in a choir... but i have joined one now.
ReplyDeleteBlog of note! Woot~! Congratzos~!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool blog! I've always loved hearing choirs sing, too - very magical experience.
ReplyDeleteI too am a choir/music lover. I am a soloist mostly, but also find the experience of coming together to sing as one absolutely breath-taking.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Very well expressed....: )
You've gotten me at Choir Girl, and what you write looks great. Look forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteIt is a sweet pun that I would look under blogs of note and click on this one. Check out the site at Selwyn College where they have just uploaded some clips. The director of music has a very fine choir there. I don't know if her 2008 CD of the Ely Girls choir is available to you - but it is also among her best work.
ReplyDeleteFound this via the Blog of Note. I agree with what you said about choirs, I think that's why I get goosebumps whenever I hear them!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever heard Eric Whitacre's compositions? He's amazing, I think you'd like them!
i agree with the post...music is the bounty for few human...and you are one of them...you can write better in music....pull the music up..
ReplyDeleteThat's such a pretty picture.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being a Blog of Note :-)

I love choral music, too. My husband things I'm weird, because when given a choice, I almost always will listen to that. I used to sing in my city's philharmonic, but a growing family forced me to dtop it for a little while. I miss it terribly, and can't wait to go back when the kids are a bit older!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Dropped by because you were "blog of Note". Love your site, it seems so calm and welcoming. God bless you. ;)
ReplyDeleteI absolutly love music... also im kinda depret so please leave comments on my blog and if you don't mind follow my blog... I still love music more than life itself...
ReplyDeleteThat was a really good description of a choir. And I completely agree :)

ReplyDeleteThanks, and KEEP ON WRITING!
What a beautiful way of describing the rush of being a part of a choir!!! I can truly relate to everything you say. The absolute magic of being a part of something beautiful, of losing yourself in the countless voices and yet contributing all you have!!!! I recently had the privilege of auditioning and then being a part of a district choir, I had never had the experience of being surrounded with such melodious voices and it was pure magic!!!!! I shall most definitely follow what you have to say!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on “Blogs of Note.”
ReplyDeleteCheers,

nice pic :)
ReplyDeletenice blog, congrats!

Justed wanted to comment what a beautiful picture. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAre you still reading comments after 70 of them? Like most of the others, I found you through "Blogs of note." Ah, to be young again!--as I assume you and most of your commentators are. I'm 72 myself, and ironically I only started singing in choirs about 5 years ago (when my voice had started failing), after spending 45 years as a church organist, which makes me particularly interested in your comments about singing in church choirs. I'll keep following your blog.
ReplyDeleteI don't speak english very well [well, WE don't speak english very well, because mr. spoqui is a team] but I [we] understand the things that you wrote here. We sing in a choir too, and to me the feelings are the same of yours. If you want, visit our blog, I know you wouldn't understand anything, cause we wrote in spanish or portuguese! See you.
ReplyDeleteCongrats !!!
