Her interpretation of Paganini's famous "Tema con variazioni" is quite good. The tempo is slower, but she breathes a lot of life into it.

OK… It’s been 20 wonderful years collaborating with like minded musical Catholics from when I was first invited by (Fr Skeris?) to join the gathering in 2005 at CUA. I think there were 47 “closet RC pro musicians” at that conference including Jeffrey, Bill, (perhaps William, but I’m not sure) definitely Curt, because I remember him intoning the “Alleluia”. Arlene was there. I think I was asked to intone something for Vespers… It might’ve been the Marian antiphon. I remember the Mass that we were celebrating at the Franciscan Monastery and I was singing countertenor next to Jeff who turned and gave me “a look.”

Anyway, I composed this in 2009 when I was DoM in Wyoming. It was the music prior to Midnight Mass, and I employed a string trio who premiered this piece with me. Maybe it was cello and violin… cant recall… but I sent this to public radio yesterday as a Christmas gift for the air waves…

It’s got a little bit of Debussy, Mozart and, of course, Bach, influences. I am sorry I dont have a REAL piano on which to practice and record. But nonetheless, it’s the black and white notes that count.

Love to all!

Have a very blessed and merry Christmas!

Francis

I am looking at getting a device for recording our choir during rehearsals (so we can listen to playback) and for recording parts for practicing at home. What do you guys use to record yourself and/or your choirs?

I just have a Samsung phone, which has terrible audio quality, so IDK if something like an iPhone would suffice. Or do you use other equipment? I don't have a lot to spend, so I need something that's a good bang for the buck.

I have decided that I can't get enough of the Dies Irae.

Can you please direct me to recordings of all the different beautiful, wonderful arrangements thereof? I am willing to buy whole CDs of the Requiem Mass and/or sacred music in general if they come highly recommended. I would also like free recordings, if they exist. I already have recordings of Mozart's, which is an obvious one. The one I heard today was just the chant, I'm assuming from the Graduale.

This was being sung in a way to invite the congregation to attempt their alternations, but that stands on its own without them, since it is still somewhat new.

This is perhaps my very favorite piece of plainchant. It seems to contain so much of the human heart and raise it to God, and I'm very pleased with how we sang it.

Hopefully our Lord was, too.]]> https://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/21095/fugue-in-b-minor-for-organ-by-koerber Thu, 24 Aug 2023 21:07:26 +0000 francis 21095@/forum/discussions

Here is an album of Christmas music I arranged using a Kawai K-1 Synth in 1990 or so. I created the patches with the wavetable controls and then routed them to 8 MIDI channels... the entire album played from MOTU Performer onto a DAT Master and duplicated on cassette. It was mostly improvised into a sequencer (played all the parts in real time WITHOUT a metronome to achieve rubato, diminuendos, etc). I apologize for the cheesy sounds, but it is the arrangements that cook!
