Bed 'n' Beauty

My teacher told me to look this up, to see how others do it. The beginning starts out pretty, but then it goes on, and just– what happened? The Rs are way too over-pronounced, and it sounds off. I think it may be their Australian accent, but their vowels sound odd.

very fast, isn’t it? and some of the higher notes sounded strained and they overpronounced their Rs.

Such a beautiful song – the SATB arrangement is awesome, though, to hear the blend of the different vocal registers.

@musicedworld Agreed. this song is too light and airy for a pipe organ, even using flutes. as a choirmaster and organist myself, i rarely use the organ with the choir as i find it tends to over power the choir with its grandure and volume (not because of bad playing but because, generally you dont think of it as accompanying choirs singing light and airy songs)

this was my favorite choir song to sing when i was at school, thank you so much for putting this on here, they sing great

Sounds-a-little-rushed,but-otherwise-beutiful..

oh to be young again!!! This is just a marvelous performance… It is obvious that you have spent a great deal of time with these young people to bring them to such marvelous performance standards… Planning to move to Australia, so maybe i will get to hear you all in person!! Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the kind words. I’m in the process of writing a book on warmups that will be simple, clear and inexpensive. I can alert you to when this is ready for review or purchase. Contact me privately and leave your email.

Wow! Great Vowel Shaping – what beautiful voices. I didn’t sense the tendency for people this age to want to move to the diphthong! What types of warm ups do you do?

One of the best performances of this piece on YouTube, if not the best.

@evertonian1994 i know exactly how u feel lol, i watch choirs singing songs that ive done in my choir and i sit here thinking we do it better i felt this is done too fast, meaning that the words werent as emotional and heartfelt as it could be

@quinnlamusicman101 -ya they need to do better

I much like the SATB arrangement of this song, but coming from an SSA choir, I say both arrangements are equally beautiful.

Yeah. When you capture things on video, like, without some professional microphone to catch all the details, it always sounds weird. (: They’re really good. (:

they are not trebles, they are sopranos. The word “treble” applies to boys.

personally I think this song should be sung by an SATB choir not just treble cuz the Bass part is awesome

jeez guys wut is with all of u saying u were better? i sang this too when i was in the colorado children’s chorale… we were good too. the sound on the video makes them not sound as good. but i still think this is very well sung.

the girls are too cute to wear ties! /
they sound great though!

Pretty sure when we did this in our school choir, we sounded like poo on stick. Possibly because the soprano’s were the only ones singing and everyone else sat around flicking spit balls at each other. ahhh memories.

yeah are chior is world class aswell these are jus normal we have loads in arez haha

we are much better
it on are tour to germany was amazing
bu you guys are good aswell
well done…

the voicing is lovely – i dont understand why the all girls have to wear mens uniform – they could have upgrade the uniform for girls a little bit

their pretty good, it’s a hard piece, no ofeence because my chior is world class but when we sang it we were far better, these guys are great thoguh

This choir really know how to perform Rutter. All their clips are great.

we’re singing this at Mt.Solo Middle School. and i think we’re singing it for the Choral Festival.
