Good Saturday morning to you... it's a rainy day in Lincoln with no signs of sunshine but yesterday was a perfect day on many levels. Although it was very long for all members of the choir we successfully did 2 hours of rehearsal, 1 evensong, dinner and then 2 full hours of recording. I think you will all be pleased with the results. The raw tracks that I now have in my computer are just great. There will be a time for our engineer to mix them and then we will get this package of music out to everyone interested. It will be a nice keep sake of this wonderful trip. I have chosen to leave the bell in some of the takes to show that Yes, it was recorded live in a very short time frame with a great group of people.
There are few moments in my life when I have be able to realize my music in a building that really allows the piece to ring as it does in Lincoln Cathedral. As much as you invision the sound in you mind at the piano it isn't until you arrive at a place like this that the music comes to life fully.
Col. Shelbourne took pictures last night during the recording session and we have some great shots. Those won't be posted until we get back to Canada. I hope that you keep watching the blog to see how much fun we are all having.
I could see the eyes of the choristers last night that they are all getting tired. Of course getting to bed at a reasonable hour wouldn't hurt either but we know for some that's just not going to happen.
And so off to breakfast and then a 2 hour reheasal this morning, a wedding at 3:30 and then evensong tonight. The Chapter at the Cathedral is having a Wine and Cheese party in the chapter house as a thank you post evensong.
So, happy Saturday to you...more pictures later today.
