Evensong: Sacred Harp 2018

Last Fall I joined up with the Elm Ensemble in Dexter, Michigan for a fantastic weekend of music-making. (There may have been excellent food & drink involved, but that's just between you and me. Bacon-fried Brussels sprouts, that's all I'm saying.)

The Elm Ensemble has published the recordings we made as a playlist on YouTube, which is fabulous and fantastic!

I'd like to draw your attention to this recording of Mary to Her Savior's Tomb, Sacred Harp 451, which was at the time the first recording appeared on YouTube, from what the co-director Josh Messner could see. Sally was really sick during this Evensong, and she sang like a real trooper in this duet! It is actually a duet for the entire piece, however I sang it alone to save her voice.

There's more to come re: Elm Ensemble 2019 and the 2019-2020 season as well. (Hint, hint.)
