Since our founding in 1874, the Princeton University Glee Club has established itself as the largest choral body on Princeton's campus. Distinguished both nationally and overseas, we perform frequently on Princeton's campus, enjoying the wonderful acoustics and surroundings of Alexander Hall. In addition to four major performances on campus every year, the Glee Club tours frequently, most recently to Paris and Buenos Aires.
Our diverse repertoire embraces renaissance motets and madrigals, Romantic partsongs, and 21st century choral commissions, as well as the more traditional Glee Club fare of spirituals, folk music and college songs. Our members make up a spectrum even more diverse: all walks of academic life are represented, all knit together by their belief in the nobility and joy of singing together.
Excellent performance! But I think that the composer is not Rachmaninov but Pavel Chesnokov: www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Sovet_prevechnii_(Pavel_Chesnokov)
Had the Opportunity stand right in front of Mikhail Zlatapolsky in the late 80's at Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow while they were warming up. Let me just tell you. The sound coming out of that mans body was so intense, my whole body was reverberating and my eardrums were twitching. I have yet to ever hear anything like it. There was no mic's no nothing. And the clarity of those low notes he was hitting was just so clear and vibrant... As well as loud! lol.. He could project those low notes over the entire choir with ease.
Wow amazing i am a huge fan of zlat!! i wonder how strong his throat was vibrating and even his body/back when he was singing! it seems like a small earthquake was going on on his whole body
hey guys just did a reaction video to this . I hope you enjoy it! First Time Hearing Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen - Praetorius/Sandström | THE WOLF HUNTERZ REACTIONS
Bravissimi, sembrate un coro di angeli, eseguita così è musica sacra e non teatrale come si sente di solito. Se esistesse un disco di questa esecuzione lo acquisterei volentieri.
0:33 Wow! That's the B-flat above the usual soprano high C! That's like as far out from the usual range as the octavists are out of range of normal basses!
Tallis was better, but it is an amazing thing! the way art builds on art and will do ! to the end of the world alough whatever intelligent life is on earth when the red sun kills us I doubt it will be human. Time trumps art every time!☺
I've not heard this piece before, I'm exploring some Sibelius choral music to see it it would work for my choir. It's a strange and episodic work, a bit difficult for me to understand. Difficult to sing and conduct too I imagine. Perhaps if you knew the story and spoke Finnish you'd find more in the music. Pity about the intrusive coughing in the audience. But thank you to the choir for expanding our musical horizons.
I respect their ambition in performing this piece, and their commitment to honoring their past player Stuart B. Mindlin for more than 20 years. These folks murdered the requiem. I am unsure if one thing is right in this performance. The director didn't know where to place the cameras; otherwise, we wouldn't see Kathrine Lerner's face from one side only during the whole performance. The sound balance was unbalanced and that's only part of the reason why the soloists all did a poor job. The brass section, seriously you should have practiced, Choir - for the love of god, stand still while you are singing, this is NOT a house party.
Молодцы! Американская молодёжь, которая поёт русскую музыку -это очень ценно в нашем слегка свихнувшемся мире. Басы-октависты звучат немного не слитно из-за разности школ и, видимо, слегка возникшей состязательности между октавистами. Это вовремя должен был заметить дирижёр. Конечно, у Николая Корнева намного глубже трактовка, есть звуковедение, цепное дыхание и восторг творчества. Там звучат Владимир Пасюков и Николай Патрикеев, а также немного цепляет Николай Драницин, но они работают слитно и составляют партию октавистов. Но там хор профессиональный, а здесь очень продвинутый любительский коллектив. В любом случае молодцы, очень приятно вас слушать.
Sooo im able to sing a nice sounding Bb1 (and a little lower some days) but i believe it’s in more of a chest fry mix, but like I said it sounds good and has some good depth and tone to it. I’ve been told I’m a “bass baritone” by a musical teacher I had during a musical recently, but my voice does get tired and cracks going any lower than an Eb2 in a pure “airy” voice. Any lower and I enter into this strong chest fry mix that sounds better than my pure “airy” chest notes. I’d love to know why this is???
