New repertoire available on My Choral Coach

[Tony]

Dear Friends,

As usual, thank you for your patience! 

I have now uploaded to "My Choral Coach" two new things for you to play around with:

The Gloria (second) movement of the Schubert German Mass (Deutsche Messe) and

The Lord's Prayer by Dmitri Bortniansky translated into English by yours truly. This is what has taken so much of my time. You'll notice that the name of the file is "Lord's Prayer for MuseScore." This is because My Choral Coach only works with a platform called MuseScore and not with the usual music engraving program I use with my publishers (Sibelius). I've had to learn a whole new programming language in order to set this piece in MuseScore. (Very tedious)!

You should be able to select your part and listen to it as it goes along. The choice of parts is a little pull-down menu at the top right side of your screen. You can choose your part, the whole ensemble or the piano part. For some reason, the layout for the whole ensemble is a mess (text in the wrong place) but it isn't a mess when you choose just one part.

For the Schubert Gloria it's a pre-recorded piece that My Choral Coach offers so in that case you'll hear an actual chorus singing the piece. With the Bortniansky, of course, you won't hear it with words but with fake voices.

To those of you who have submitted recordings of yourself singing your part: I haven't had time to listen to these because of learning MuseScore. I promise to get to them but it's not a top priority right now. The main goal of this process is for you to play around with My Choral Coach and see whether it's suitable for teaching repertoire in the fall.

Good luck!

Tony

Thanks, Tony.  I’ll take a look.  Wish we could sing in person but maybe somewhere down the line, we can meet again. Who could imagine that choral singing is verboten during this pandemic.
