Singers
School Recordings
These recordings were made on a small digital
voice recorder at Region 19 Singers School,
January 11-13, 2008. They represent a
sample of the activities. The purpose of these
files is
to give interested members a taste of what
Singers School is like.
-
Great Day by the Four Bettys, current
international Queens of Harmony. Ringing chords
at the end cause the recorder to shudder.
-
Charlotte Town's Burning Down. A
mid-range, non-strenuous warmup/round to get
singers ready to sing.
-
Brand New Day. The song taught by the Four Bettys during the weekend. This was used to
demonstrate and practice good vocal technique.
This recording emphasizes the tenor part because
it happened to be in a tenor's lap at the time.
-
Rosemary's Granddaughter by the Four Bettys. The
"moment"; in this song occurs near the end when
Linda, the lead, begins "I am Rosemary's
granddaughter.." -- then the baritone (Heather,
her daughter) joins in with "and when the day is
done my mama's still my biggest fan." The
ringing chords at the end make the recorder cut
in/out.
- We complimented Linda and Heather afterwards and
they said it took them awhile to be able to
deliver those lines without getting too
emotional.
