The Choral Music Appreciation Thread

[Musicman408]

Alright, so a lot of you all may know that I am going to school, majoring in choral music education. I sang in my high school choir for 4 years, and was a part of the "elite group", The Madrigals, for three of them. Currently I sing in the Men's Chorus and Choral Society here at Western Kentucky University. I absolutely love it. Just thought we could post some of our favorite songs and or recordings if we had any, and talk about our experiences singing in a choir.

Here is a link of a 2 new recordings Men's Chorus did last week.

Click on Men's Chorus, and there should be the fight song and National anthem.

Personally, my favorite piece of music all time I think, is Morten Lauriden's "Lux Aterna". I sang it last year in high school for various things, and we are doing it in Choral Society this year. It is a major work, and is absolutely pheonomenal. LA MASTER CHORALE has a recording of this, and you can listen to clips on amazon and or youtube. When done by a really good choir, this piece will make you cry. And yes, it has made me cry. It's amazing.

Anyway, I thought this would be a little change of pace and whatnot. Hope everyone is well!!

Much Love,
Ethan
