The Faure <i>Requiem</i> is one of the most loved and performed choral/orchestral pieces in the repertoire, and as a result there are many resources for learning this piece. As with most pieces, one of the best resources is Cyberbass which has each movement in midi form, for both the individual part and the whole choir.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.cyberbass.com/Major_Works/Faure%20G/faure.htm" target="_blank">http://www.cyberbass.com/Major_Works/Faure%20G/faure.htm</a><br />
<br />
YouTube also has many great resources and I won't include them all but here are some highlights.<br />

<br />
Each individual part is available as a practice track playing just your part and showing the score, simply do a YouTube search "Faure Requiem (your voice part)"<br />

Although the weather rarely changes here in San Diego, summertime has a special feel, marked by longer days, bbqs, holidays and vacations. Even if we aren't spending our days at the beach or by the pool, we can't be too troubled by weekly rehearsals and robes, so we have Summer Choir.<br />
<br />
Summer choir is an informal collection of singers drawn primarily from the Sanctuary Choir which regularly provides musical leadership at the 9:30 service. We meet promptly at 9 am in the choir room (below the Sanctuary) to warm-up and have a brief rehearsal on a fun or familiar anthem that is suited to the theme in worship that day. This group is open to anyone who would like to give it a try, no need to read music or make a reservation, just show up at 9 am on Sunday morning.<br />
<br />
Below you will find a list of anthems and dates, and when available I have included a YouTube video of the selection. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact music director, Juan Acosta jacosta_fumccv@yahoo.com or 619-656-2525<br />

As we enter into the final preparations towards Holy Week, I wanted to share some resources for the Dubois in order to help our preparations and understanding.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Parts help</b></h3>
Cyberbass - does not yet have a Dubois "Seven Last Words"<br />
<br />

This website has midi files of each part which is quite helpful but you will need to download or open each file, it will not simply play in your web browser.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.choralia.net/db01/db01.htm">http://www.choralia.net/db01/db01.htm</a><br />
This website promises to be an even better resource but for whatever reason does not work on my desktop, hopefully you have better luck.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Recordings</b></h3>
<a href="http://www.music.amazon.com/" target="_blank">www.music.amazon.com </a>- A good option for both CDs and MP3s<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.apple.com/itunes/" target="_blank">https://www.apple.com/itunes/</a> - Good for instant gratification and best option for those with iDevices<br />
<br />
There are two readily available recordings of the piece, neither of them is outstanding but both are good references.<br />

I want to start off by saying that I am incredibly proud of the work you all did, both in preparation and in performance. Now that I have had some time to reflect on this process I am overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude.<br />
<br />
The live stream video of the concert has been archived and is currently available on u-stream. Though it may ask you to log in, you do not actually have to be a member or log in with your facebook account to watch the video. If I can figure out a way, I will see if I can embed the video here in the blog so you do not have to open a different website.<br />
<br />
We do not have a hard copy of this recording and while it is possible to pull this from the website, it does take a level of computer wizardry I have not achieved yet. The video quality is not good, but the audio quality is not bad. I do not know how long that the video will be available, it could be taken down at any time so if you are interested in viewing it, please do so soon.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/41486586" target="_blank">http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/41486586</a><br />
<br />
I am working on editing down the audio recording of the concert and will post that when it is available as well.<br />
<br />
Blessings<br />
Juan <br />

It is hard to believe that our concert is less than two months away! Below you will find resources for the "Gloria" by John Rutter for Choir, Brass and Organ. I hope you will find these useful in the learning process.<br />
<br />
Cyber Bass - an website that has midi (computer) recordings of each part as well as all of the parts. This is very useful in learning notes but it does not include the words so you will have to follow along with the music carefully.<br />

The archival recording of our Christmas Concert from 2007 should be rather handy as we prepare this piece. <br />

<br />
YouTube - What would the internet be today without videos?<br />
These recordings of the <i>Gloria</i> by the University of Utah are quite good but they do use the orchestral version rather than the one we will be using for brass, organ and percussion. The big difference is that the strings and woodwinds take the parts covered by the organ in our version.<br />

I was able to catch this insightful interview with contemporary ("classical" not Christian) composer John Zorn. Though he claims he is not religious, he is a profoundly spiritual person with some great insights into making music including this quote that I thought was particularly relevant to the letter I sent out.<br />

I feel that it's possible to tap into that. I just don't believe in ego that much. I don't think it's just me. I think you can even just talk about community. I could not do this music without these musicians. It's about people. Music is about people for me. It's not about sounds. It's about people; it's about putting people into challenging situations. And for me, challenges are opportunities." - John Zorn</span><br />

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
</h4>
I. Learn these tunes before you learn any others; afterwards learn as many as you please.<br />
<br />
II. Sing them exactly as they are printed here, without altering or
mending them at all; and if you have learned to sing them otherwise,
unlearn it as soon as you can.<br />
<br />
III. Sing all. See that you join with the congregation as frequently as
you can. Let not a single degree of weakness or weariness hinder you. If
it is a cross to you, take it up, and you will find it a blessing.<br />
<br />
IV. Sing lustily and with good courage. Beware of singing as if you were
half dead, or half asleep; but lift up your voice with strength. Be no
more afraid of your voice now, nor more ashamed of its being heard, then
when you sung the songs of Satan.<br />
<br />
V. Sing modestly. Do not bawl, so as to be heard above or distinct from
the rest of the congregation, that you may not destroy the harmony; but
strive to unite your voices together, so as to make one clear melodious
sound.<br />
<br />
VI. Sing in time. Whatever time is sung be sure to keep with it. Do not
run before nor stay behind it; but attend close to the leading voices,
and move therewith as exactly as you can; and take care not to sing to
slow. This drawling way naturally steals on all who are lazy; and it is
high time to drive it out from us, and sing all our tunes just as quick
as we did at first.<br />
<br />
VII. Above all sing spiritually. Have an eye to God in every word you
sing. Aim at pleasing him more than yourself, or any other creature. In
order to do this attend strictly to the sense of what you sing, and see
that your heart is not carried away with the sound, but offered to God
continually; so shall your singing be such as the Lord will approve
here, and reward you when he cometh in the clouds of heaven.<br />
<br />
From John Wesley's Select Hymns, 1761

We open our hymnals to Hymn 379, and we begin to sing. "God is Love, let heav'n adore him / God is Love, let earth rejoice ..."<br />
<br />
Lifting
voices together in praise can be a transcendent experience, unifying a
congregation in a way that is somehow both fervent and soothing. But is
there actually a physical basis for those feelings?<br />
To find
this out, researchers of the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of
Gothenburg in Sweden studied the heart rates of high school choir
members as they joined their voices. Their , published this week in <em>Frontiers in Neuroscience</em>, confirm that choir music has calming effects on the heart — especially when sung in unison.<br />
<br />

A Swedish researcher explains how heart rates become synchronized when people sing together.<br />

</div>
</div>
Using pulse monitors attached to the singers' ears, the
researchers measured the changes in the choir members' heart rates as
they navigated the intricate harmonies of a Swedish hymn. When the choir
began to sing, their heart rates slowed down.<br />
<br />
"When you sing the phrases, it is a form of guided breathing," says musicologist
of the Sahlgrenska Academy who led the project. "You exhale on the
phrases and breathe in between the phrases. When you exhale, the heart
slows down."<br />
<br />
But what really struck him was that it took almost
no time at all for the singers' heart rates to become synchronized. The
readout from the pulse monitors starts as a jumble of jagged lines, but
quickly becomes a series of uniform peaks. The heart rates fall into a
shared rhythm guided by the song's tempo.<br />
<br />
"The members of the
choir are synchronizing externally with the melody and the rhythm, and
now we see it has an internal counterpart," Vickhoff says.<br />
<br />
This
is just one little study, and these findings might not apply to other
singers. But all religions and cultures have some ritual of song, and
it's tempting to ask what this could mean about shared musical
experience and communal spirituality.<br />
<br />
"It's a beautiful way to feel. You are not alone but with others who feel the same way," Vickhoff says.<br />
He
plans to continue exploring the physical and neurological responses of
our body to music on a long-term project he calls Body Score. As an
instructor, he wonders how this knowledge might be used to create more
cohesive group dynamic in a classroom setting or in the workplace.<br />
<br />
<div class="bucketwrap statichtml" id="res200435713">
</div>
"When I was young, every day started with a teacher sitting down
at an old organ to sing a hymn," Vickhoff says. "Wasn't that a good idea
— to get the class to think, 'We are one, and we are going to work
together today.' "<br />
<br />
Perhaps hymns aren't for everyone, but we
want to know, what songs soothe your heart? For a bit of inspiration,
we've included a clip of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, whose members know
a lot about singing together.</div>

"I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free." These words from the familiar hymn <i>His Eye is on the Sparrow</i> turn out not just be a statement of faith but a phenomenon backed up by science. As it turns out singing with others has been shown to increase endorphins, a hormone associated with pleasure. Singing with others also helps us connect to one another, it creates surges of the hormone oxytocin, the hormone that helps bonds moms and new babies.<br />
<br />
One of the surprising things about singing is that you don't even need to be good at it to experience these benefits. Professional singers in these studies show no noticeable difference in the pleasures singing they experience, with their untrained colleagues. Other benefits include lowered blood pressure, easier breathing, decreased stress and increased relaxation. <a href="http://www.thestar.com/life/health_wellness/2011/04/25/you_docs_5_reasons_to_sing_even_if_you_cant_carry_a_tune.html" target="_blank">For more information, please see the full article by Dr. Mehment Oz and Michael Rolzen.</a><br />
<br />
Aside from the science, as people of faith we have the added benefit of uniting our voices in praise of God. As a church choir, lifting our voices in worship is the most important and gratifying use of our humble gifts. The founder of the Methodist tradition, John Wesley reminds us in the "Directions for Singing" printed in our hymnals: "Above all sing spiritually. Have an eye to God in every word you sing." We invite you to join us in testifying to God's beauty, majesty and power in our lives this season.<br />

</aside>
When you sing, musical vibrations move through you, altering your
physical and emotional landscape. Group singing, for those who have done
it, is the most exhilarating and transformative of all. It takes
something incredibly intimate, a sound that begins inside you, shares it
with a roomful of people and it comes back as something even more
thrilling: harmony. So it’s not surprising that group singing is on the
rise. According to Chorus America, 32.5 million adults sing in choirs,
up by almost 10 million over the past six years. Many people think of
church music when you bring up group singing, but there are over 270,000
choruses across the country and they include gospel groups to show
choirs like the ones depicted in <i>Glee</i> to strictly amateur groups like <a href="http://www.choirchoirchoir.com/">Choir! Choir! Choir!</a> singing David Bowie’s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwlZ6gZHKLc">The Man Who Sold the World</a>.</div>
<div class="entry-content">
<br />
As the popularity of group singing grows, science has been hard at
work trying to explain why it has such a calming yet energizing effect
on people. What researchers are beginning to discover is that singing is
like an infusion of the perfect tranquilizer, the kind that both
soothes your nerves and elevates your spirits.<br />
<br />
The elation may come from <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23089077">endorphins</a>, a hormone released by singing, which is associated with feelings of pleasure. Or it might be from <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12814197">oxytocin</a>,
another hormone released during singing, which has been found to
alleviate anxiety and stress. Oxytocin also enhances feelings of trust
and bonding, which may explain why still more studies have found that
singing lessens feelings of <a href="http://mpr-online.net/Issues/Volume%203.1%20Special%20Issue%20%5B2010%5D/Clift%20Published%20Web%20Version.pdf">depression and loneliness</a>. A very <a href="http://psycnet.apa.org/psycinfo/2013-26499-001/">recent study</a>
even attempts to make the case that “music evolved as a tool of social
living,” and that the pleasure that comes from singing together is our
evolutionary reward for coming together cooperatively, instead of hiding
alone, every cave-dweller for him or herself.<br />
<br />
The benefits of singing regularly seem to be cumulative. In one study, singers were found to have lower levels of <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15669447">cortisol</a>, indicating lower stress. A very preliminary investigation suggesting that our <a href="http://www.frontiersin.org/Auditory_Cognitive_Neuroscience/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00334/full#B18">heart rates may sync up</a> during group singing could also explain why singing together sometimes feels like a guided group meditation. <a href="http://pom.sagepub.com/content/early/2013/04/08/0305735613477181.abstract?papetoc">Study</a> after <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22837766">study</a>
has found that singing relieves anxiety and contributes to quality of
life. Dr. Julene K. Johnson, a researcher who has focused on older
singers, recently began a <a href="http://communityofvoices.org/home/">five year study</a> to examine group singing as an affordable method to improve the health and well-being of older adults.<br />
<br />
It turns out you don’t even have to be a good singer to reap the rewards. According to one <a href="http://pom.sagepub.com/content/33/3/269.short">2005 study</a>,
group singing “can produce satisfying and therapeutic sensations even
when the sound produced by the vocal instrument is of mediocre
quality.” Singing groups vary from casual affairs where no audition is
necessary to serious, committed professional or avocational choirs like
the Los Angeles Master Chorale or <a href="http://www.thechoralsociety.org/">my chorus in New York City</a>,
which I joined when I was 26 and depressed, all based on a single
memory of singing in a choir at Christmas, an experience so euphoric I
never forgot it.<br />
<br />
If you want to find a singing group to join, <a href="http://www.choirplace.com/">ChoirPlace</a> and <a href="http://www.choralnet.org/">ChoralNet</a> are good places to begin, or more local sites like the <a href="http://www.newyorkchoralconsortium.org/">New York Choral Consortium</a>, which has links to the <a href="http://www.van.org/">Vocal Area Network</a> and other sites, or the <a href="http://www.bostonsings.org/chorus.htm">Greater Boston Choral Consortium</a>.
But if you can’t find one at any of these sites, you can always google
“choir” or “choral society” and your city or town to find more. Group
singing is cheaper than therapy, healthier than drinking, and certainly
more fun than working out. It is the one thing in life where feeling
better is pretty much guaranteed. Even if you walked into rehearsal
exhausted and depressed, by the end of the night you’ll walk out high as
a kite on endorphins and good will.</div>

You may have heard this story on KPBS or seen it posted by friends on Facebook, but just in case I wanted to bring the article to your attention.<br />
<br />
You can listen to, download or read a transcript of the story on NPR's website<br />

The setting of "Ubi Caritas" by <b>Maurice Duruflé </b>is one most sublime sacred choral music pieces in existence. It is one of four motets (anthems) based on chant melodies. The use of the chant as a melodic source, combined with the rich harmonic texture create a very effective communication of this ancient text. <br />
<br />
<i>Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.<br />
Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.<br />
Exultemus, et in ipso iucundemur.<br />
Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum.<br />
Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero. </i><br />
<br />
Where charity and love are, God is there.<br />
Christ's love has gathered us into one.<br />
Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him.<br />
Let us fear, and let us love the living God.<br />
And may we love each other with a sincere heart.<br />

This is a clip from a DVD from Kings College, Cambridge called "Anthems from Kings" featuring many of the "greatest hits" of sacred choral music. It is hard to find something unpleasant about this recording.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
This is a performance video from the church that brought you the American Premier of Handel's "Messiah" Trinity Episcopal Church on Wall Street. No this is not the premier, it is however done with instruments and techniques that are from the time period or reconstructions of historical instruments. The Trinity Choir is the church's top choir and completely professional, meaning this is their full time gig! Simply incredible.<br />

Handel's <i>Messiah</i> is one of the best loved and most performed works in choral literature and probably "classical" music in general. There have been a number of editions of <i>Messiah</i> published over the years, many of which are full of additions by editors and composers including many done by Mozart. In the last 50 years there has been a great deal of research into the performances that Handel gave of the piece in his lifetime and the manuscripts used for those performances. From those manuscripts editors have come up with a number of scholarly printed editions suitable for performance.<br />
<br />
This year we will be using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watkins_Shaw" target="_blank">Watkins Shaw</a> edition, named after it's editor and published by Novello. Unfortunately neighborhood music stores don't really exist anymore, if you are interested in picking it up locally you might want to try Allen's Music Center in La Mesa. Of course this edition is available from a number of online retailers.<br />
<br />
In terms of part learning resource, it is hard to go wrong with Cyberbass.com. Don't let the name fool you, it has all of the voice parts for each of the choral movements of the Messiah.<br />

<br />
If you were ever interested in hearing what it might sound like if you had a chorus of robots then this sight might be for you <a href="http://savedsounds.com/Messiah/Messiah_parts_mp3/index.html" target="_blank">http://savedsounds.com/Messiah/Messiah_parts_mp3/index.html </a><br />
The benefit of this site is that they are mp3 files and may be downloaded to your music player.<br />
<br />
For those that want extra help but do not want to be tied down to their computer, there are training cds available at <a href="http://note-perfect.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=8_37_41">note-perfect.com</a> and other sites. <br />
<br />
There is a playlist on YouTube of the various choral movements, it features a rather fine recording but does not have the sheet music available to view. You may find that playlist here <a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL69564B74489180A1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL69564B74489180A1</a><br />
I have yet to find a YouTube video of all of the choruses with sheet music but I have been able to find individuals, I will be posting those as we go.<br />
<br />
At some point I will make a brief list of some of my favorite recordings of Messiah but for now I will leave you with just one. Arkiv Produktion's recording of Messiah conducted by Mark Minkowski featuring Brian Asawa (the countertenor from our performance in 2008) other fantastic soloists and an orchestra playing instruments from the time period or reconstructions of historical instruments.<br />
