The Plan

I have everyone of every vocal range sing all the same parts (in the octave of their choice), then I edit those parts together to create the harmonies.  To do this, I write all the parts within a single octave range of D to D.  This way, all of the parts can be sung by all singers, either between D3-D4 or D4-D5.  It essentially turns a 3-part harmony into 6 parts, which sounds very full.
In the past, I've had singers record themselves at home, one at a time, and I layered those recordings to create a "virtual choir."  The process worked very well during covid-19 quarantine, but now we can safely record multiple voices together in the same room, and I'd love to try that. 
Instead of a traditional choir harmonizing, we will record everyone singing in unison, for each part, and then I will layer those recordings to create harmony.  I do it this way, because...  
  • It's easier to sing unison in a group than harmonizing
  • No need for group rehearsals, just practice the part before recording day, and then sing unison with everyone else. 
I am renting the Polish Center in Franklin, WI on Sunday, August 14th 2022.  I will be recording a variety of musicians between 10:30AM and 3:30PM, and the choir part will be recorded between 1PM and 3PM.
