Symphony X by choir, pt. II

[Cardhago]

Hello again! You haven't heard of me for a while, but I've been busy again. I was under pressure to arrange "Lady of the Snow"... I thought I'd never be able to come up with a working version of it but after a few weeks of playing the song and trying different song structures, I finally finished with, in my opinion, my best choral work so far. It was recorded on May 4th 2005 in our choir's spring concert. I know it's not perfect, there are mistakes in the performance and I admit that we (the tenors) are not loud enough (5 tenors versus 50 sopranos and altos, plz)... anyway, please tell me what you think. The choir members are interested in your opinions and in time I will link this thread to the choir message list. Here's the treat, I hope you enjoy it!

Excellent! I loved your arrangement of Whispers. Downloading this one now!

 

[kazahana]

That was wonderful! Excellent work on the arrangement and performance. I'll be listening to this one for a long time to come

What's next? A Winter's Dream part 1? Communion and the Oracle?

 

[DoktorShred]

do a version of romeos solo from 'live on the edge of forever'

PS. it was great, especially the piano parts

 

[Dark Lucidity]

Man thats great.. gives me shivers! especially the start.

Do whispers!!

 

[Pastorius]

This is amazing!

Is there any place I can d/l Whispers?

Couldn't find the original post because search has been disabled.

This seems to be the link: http://mbnet.fi/card/joykuoro/joykuoro-whispers.mp3

Also http://mbnet.fi/card/joykuoro/joykuoro-follow_me.mp3 for the excellent arrangement of Royal Hunt's Follow Me.

Dude! I absolutely loved Whispers. When I'm back on my own computer, I'm downloading this immediately.

Communion and the Oracle next?

 

[Progbass]

Great! I've always liked choir songs and after this I like them even more. I think Romeo needs to hear this, I bet he would like it.

 

[Neva Kee]

Wow - I really liked Whispers and this one is REALLY cool, too - gives me the shivers!

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

Okay, got Lady of the Snow. You are an AWESOME arranger. And you must have one heck of an ear to perfectly transcribe all those harmonies, too.

 

[zakk_hate_me_666]

i swear i can hear someone cough during whisprs at about 1:05

nice job dude

 

[1by4by9]

Great job on this one too, Cardhago! Very beautiful arrangements.

 

[Rose Immortal]

OK, I was finally able to get my computer to let me play this...I have to say, you've done an amazing job! That is absolutely gorgeous!

That one really dissonant chord at the beginning is absolutely chilling to hear on a full choir, but I've got to commend your choir for being able to manage it.

 

[†Russel Allen†®]

Ya know, dude... If I was Michael Romeo, I'd bring ya up to record some choirs on some of my songs...

Just killing, man!! awesome!!

 

[PoisonSeed]

Great great job!
I've got to admit your previous arrangement of Whispers did take the role of the original song in my playlist for many weeks.
Thou art talented indeed!

 

[unknown]

I loved it as much as I did whispers...absolutely gorgeous

Can somebody do me a favour and upload these songs if you have?. The links seem to have died. I would be most thankful

 

[estYMaj]

I would love to hear these songs but none of the links are working for me

 

[Time-Machinist]

I had no problem in "Follow me", but the rest are not working for me either
