ELMvc is one of eight choirs based in the Peel Region of Western Australia invited to participate in the Mandurah Proms on Sunday 28th April 2013 starting at 4 p.m.. <<< click picture for more info. The event will be conducted by Jonathon Welch AM (of the Choir of Hard Knocks fame) and is expected to be one of the major attractions in the 2013 Stretch Festival. You will be required to learn several pieces of music distributed by Jonathon and commit your time and best effort at the coaching workshops over the four days leading up to, and including, the event. Nothing ventured - nothing gained! To participate you must be a registered ELMvc singer and you will also need to register for the event, so that we can send paper based sheet music to you in the post. Clearly, you will also need to live within a practical commuting distance from Mandurah (commiserations to our more distant members!). We have received the official timetable for ELMvc singer participation in the 2013 Stretch Festival. Does it get any better than this?
The timetable is:
This is a big time commitment for those of you able to attend... but nothing ventured, nothing gained. A great opportunity! With your virtual performance, you have four weeks to practise and perform (record). Jonathon Welch (our patron, coach and conductor) has only six hours over three days to help you, and singers from other choirs, prepare for the live Mandurah Proms concert. For those who can make the time, contact Walter or Roger (see Contact Us) if you would like to be billeted - we'll see what can be arranged. Friends and family may buy tickets online (Adult $45, Concession $42, Child $20) from the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre. We're targeting a block of seats in the stalls (H11 - K25) for ELMvc fans. If you cannot commit to the full time required to perform in the Proms, please attend the ELMvc Movie Launch and Workshop (if physically able). Two dates published earlier for the Mandurah Stretch Festival were incorrect. Please note:
Our apologies for any confusion caused by these incorrect dates. WVB Today marks the start of the official period of time allowed for practising and recording Each Moment'. By popular demand, we have extended the deadline, for submitting your videos, to the 31st March 2013. Recording Guidelines are now in place (except for the technical process relating to Apple computers - these will be available shortly). We encourage you to buddy up with your local technical experts (friends or family) and to help each other via the Music Forum we have provided for you to communicate among yourselves and with us. Please join the Music Forum and start posting! On behalf of Leah Blankendaal and the ELMvc team I wish you all the very best during your singing endeavours this month and 'break a leg!'. Love and live Walter After a lot of hard work by Leah and the ELMvc team, and many hours of computer rendering and uploading, conductor instruction on video is now available for all eight parts of Each Moment. This leaves only the Recording Guidelines to be completed. These will be available by the official 4th March start of the practice and performance session. The ELMvc team have been researching technical ways to submit the relatively large video files you will be generating from your recording. We have chosen a free online service called Dropbox for your video file submission to us. All registered singers will soon be receiving an invitation to join Dropbox. Please accept our invitation to join, as it is the most efficient way of submitting your video to us. You will also find Dropbox to be a great way of sharing data with your family and friends (e.g. photos). Go for it! Love and live WVB Jonathon Welch AM is adding a simplified, two part arrangement of Each Moment to his kit bag of songs to use when coaching numerous school and community choirs during the 2013 Mandurah Stretch Festival. At the conclusion of the Festival, the songs learned by the singers will form the program of the Mandurah Proms, to be staged on Sunday 28th April. So, it will be performed live by the massed voices of the choirs on stage! The world premier launch of a HD movie of ELMvc performing the full version of Each Moment - plus - a live performance of the simplified version - on the same week end - it doesn't get much better than this! Love and live WVB Initial Practice Resources, in the form of individually animated music notation and accompanying audio for all eight parts, are NOW available, ahead of schedule, for our singers' use. Use these resources to learn your notes and lyrics. More comprehensive videos of Leah conducting each part, complete with voice-over singer instructions, will be available by the end of February.
A BIG thank you to Leah Blankendaal, our guest conductor, who laboured under hot lights in front of a green screen last Saturday to 'conduct' the Choir. She performed this task many times. Four individual singer practise videos were taken, one for each SATB part. Another three videos were taken for the final HD video of the Choir's collective performance 'at' our virtual venue, planned to be the forecourt of the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre. The image (top left) shows a frame from one of the singer practise videos, superimposed over a photo of the forecourt (shot by WVB just before dawn). Singer practise material will now be progressively published on our website over the last week of February, in time for our singers' practise and performance during the first two weeks of March. Firstly, Leah's interpretation of Tim's arrangement is already published in the form of sheet music and audio track. These will be followed by video animations of the sheet music with audio for each part. Secondly, general instructions on what to do and how to do it will be published. Finally, videos of Leah conducting each part, combined with relevant sheet music and audio, plus voice-over instructions to singers will be published. Love and live
Walter I'm delighted to announce the completion of Tim Cunniffe's arrangement of Each Moment. We have been working with Tim over the past couple of weeks to make subtle adjustments to the score. The sheet music and computer simulated audio are now showcased for all those who may have already registered as a singer or may do so upon listening to Tim's fine arrangement. Actions are in place to develop singers' practice material and distribute it to registered singers by the end of February, so... make sure you register before then... It'd be a great pity to miss out! Singer practise and recording is scheduled for the first two weeks of March. However, there's no reason why you couldn't start practising now if you're keen! Go for it. |
