Hi I’m always working on my new vocal projects, mostly a capella arrangements, I would love to hear form anyone who has come across any wonderful vocal arrangments. One of my favorites is Standford talisman’s version of Lift Every Voice and Sing as well as their Soon Ah Will Be Done/Wayfaring Stranger, you’ll find it on Youtube.

Inspired by seeing ”Shaking the Tree” I have bought a Ukelele and am going to let go of my wish to only sing songs acappella with my choir. This will free me up to do a lot more songs that would be too tricky for them as i have arranged them. Another choir leader and I were talking about this and we both felt we needed to feed our acappella needs by getting together with other singing leaders or skilled singers to do our favourite arrangements, ones that wouldn’t be possible with our choirs. Of course it’s great to be able to meet the singers where they are and take them further, but I’ve offered up a few songs that have proven too hard. One is ”Love is the 7th Wave” and I reluctantly bailed on it. However, now I have my little 4 stringed friend, the 6 parts will now be 3 and we will be able to do the song proud!

Hello from sunny QLD! Still buzzing from my weekend down in Melbourne at the sing-posium run by Jonathan Welch

Hi Michael ~ I LOVE the original, positive & inspiring spiral-bound copies of the Victoria Sings songbook/CD set, still using some of the songs 6 years-on. Community Music Victoria allows choirs to make their own copies once they’ve purchased one. I’ve gone both the DYI route & purchased route, and by the time you make up your own (esp. if you dup the double-set CDs), the cost isn’t much different than what CMV charge, and the product tends to be pretty ordinary.

I’ve gotten a discount before on ordering 10 copies, so I’m sure they’d do you a deal on 30.
