14 Videos

I took videos of the Swedish Glee Club Spring Concert.  In total, I processed 14 videos of the singing.

It took 88 GB of data on our computer.  I used iMovie to convert the data to m4v videos and then uploaded them to YouTube (actually at the moment I still need to upload the last 5 to UTube).

So if you are interested, all of the Swedish Glee Club videos are at (or will be at later today) SwedgleeClub channel.

In many respects, iy is easier to sing the songs, then process them & upload them!

Singing

Last night, I sang with 101 men in the 32nd. Annual Festival of Song at Estonian House.  First the Waukegan Swedish Glee Club sang 2 selections:  Island (above video) and Embraceable You.  And each of the other various choruses each sang 2 numbers.

The groups were Normennenes Singing Society (the host organization), Waukegan Swedish Glee Club, Bjornson Male Chorus, Elmhurst Männerchor, Chicago Swedish Male Chorus, Chicago Swedish Glee Club, The Sibelius Male Chorus of Chicago and Chicago Latvian Choir.

After that we combined to sing 6 numbers: Let There Be Music, Stout Hearted Men, Sanctus, Dear Land of Home, You'll Never Walk Alone. and God Bless America.

I have never sang with so many other Baritones.  It is exciting and fun; since my goofs are not as noticeable. I have never heard or sang Let There Be Music but somehow I got thru it.  The other groups I sing with have at most 15 other men with 4 Baritones.  Our entire Church choir has at most 16 total voices and usually 8-12.
