Songbirds in Lockdown
Lean On Me |
This recording was the outcome of members’ individual audio recordings made at home being blended together using technology. We all had to learn some new skills, in particular our ‘recording engineer’ (who also happens to be our very able accompanist), who took all our individual contributions and blended them into a choir!
One of our biggest difficulties was keeping time - as an individual singer you keep time for yourself and, as a choir, your conductor (as well as doing many other things) keeps time for you. So, eighteen or more individuals singing without a conductor and in eighteen or more different locations around Harborough district was always going to be a challenge! Nevertheless, we would like to share the final result, of which we are very proud, because it demonstrates the ongoing commitment and hard work of Songbirds members and the leadership team at such a very trying time. We have been unable to meet together, in person, for more than 15 months (so far). |
