Recording a Choral Part

You can help the St. Louis Peace Choir record their monthly egalitarian peace song regardless of where you live in the world. This month we need your help in recording this song:

PEACE IS NOT WHAT I LOOKED FOR
– [PDF Score]
– [MP3 Recording (SATB STUDY)]
– [MP3 Recording (ALTO STUDY)]
– [MP3 Recording (TENOR STUDY)]
– [MP3 Recording (BASS STUDY)]

Once you’ve learned your part, it’s easy to record an audio file. All you’ll need is:
– a very quiet room
– the musical score to read
– a player (such as a cell phone) with earbuds (or headphones) to hear the Guide Song
– a recorder (such as a cell phone) and an audio recording app (such as “Easy Voice Recorder” or “Voice Memos”) to record your singing.

When recording, please exaggerate your enunciation for group clarity.
At the beginning of each Guide Song the piano plays the beginning pitches for the 4 parts. Please CLAP with the piano for the final beat or two. This’ll make it easier to for the editor to synchronize the different tracks.
Yes, you can submit more than one recording (in separate files). It’ll make the group sound more full.

Please send your audio file(s) to the St. Louis Peace Choir’s email address:
sing@stlpeacechoir.org
If you don’t receive an acknowledgement within a day or two, we didn’t receive it.

The audio files we receive will be assembled into a choral composite. These choral songs will then be housed on the “Repository” page of our St. Louis Peace Choir website. They will be freely available to all visitors and teachers for listening or downloading. (It is our goal to eventually grow our public domain repository to 60 diverse, meaningful, egalitarian songs that choral groups throughout the world can freely download and learn.)

Creating and sharing egalitarian songs of understanding and acceptance is an important way we musicians can contribute to a better world.
