Choral Cacophony Podcast #14 The Devil's in the Details

Choral Cacophony Podcast

Pierre has written a brand new arrangement of one of the most popular carols on the planet. Carol of the Bells has always been a most requested Christmas carol at our concerts and our director/composer wanted to bring a fresh modern ring to this old Belle. In this episode of our Podcast, Pierre demonstrates the attention to detail all of our song rehearsals require to get that spot on timing and tuning of the chorus. You can use this one next time you meditate... on what to get everyone for Christmas. _ _ _ PleaseDONATE * to support our 40th year events !*_ _ _ _ All Donations receive a charitable receipt._ About The Stairwell Carollers: Pierre Massie started our a cappella choir in 1977 while a music student at Ottawa University.
