Exactly! This choir wasn't all that great honestly. Eric Whitacre's piece is beautiful though, so, with that being said, it was an okay performance simply because of the arrangement and not so much because of the choir. They need to MATCH VOWELS. Nearly all of them had way different vowels on the sustained notes. The very dissonant (clashy) harmonic intervals in this piece, mostly noticed in the soprano's louder or forte (like) parts toward the end of the piece, could have been beautiful, but were completely destroyed by their wavering vibrato. Come on Eric, Smack some blend into these hoes.
You are very good and Whitacre is really brilliant! My choir sang "Sleep" during one of our last performances. Write this in the search: you will love it for sure! Corale Novarmonia - Sleep (E. Whitacre)
Prachtig ! Met respect voor zowel dirigent als koor voor dit mooie stukje muziek. Maar ... als U het koor opdraagt om er opperbest voor te komen was het misschien - als blijk van enig respect - niet gepast om in jeans en zonder das te verschijnen. Maar voor de rest : chapeau !
Times are changing, my friend, and the Vlaams RadioKoor knows how to evolve and adapt. Did you know that they have a stylista and fashion experts behind most of their public appearances? Kind regards.
Vibrato destroys all the pure and fragile chords.

I completely agree with you. I sang this in high school. Vibrato destroys the entire harmonic style.

I wish I had been able to sing this music in my younger years - it is so melodic and sympathetic. I love to listen now.
