Why our singing voices have different accents
[this is a version of a post which first appeared on my blog From the Front of the Choir]
Many English pop groups in the 60s started off by emulating their cousins from across the pond and Sang with an American accent. Cliff Richard still does!

That was our answer, unexpected even for us, since we hadn’t thought of a name yet. It happened on a December night in 2001 in Sopron in front of the Dömötöri Patisserie where we Sang Christmas carols for the passersby. We didn’t notice being founded, only the joy of polyphonic singing. It was, and still is our experience that making music together strengthens existing friendships and facilitates the development of new ones.

sung by the dwsChorale - multitrack one-man choir
erstwhile alto at St Michael's Cornhill
When we Sang this, it was mentioned (during the rehearsal of course!)
that this anthem was particularly appropriate
since it mentions the new moon, and
the "New Moon" pub is just around the corner from Cornhill (on Gracechurch Street)...
So I thought: it's about time I brought the ideas together :-)

This version is based on that by the Golden Gate Quartet, the most successful of all of the African-American gospel music groups who Sang in the jubilee quartet style. Formed in 1934 the group remains active today, although with no original members.
This is from The OK Chorale's second public concert in March 2013 at St. Mary's Church, Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK. less

Weber — Hunters' chorus
This chorus is well-known for Everyone who ever Sang in the MEPhI Male Choir, since from the beginning of the choir (in 1956) it has always been among the first pieces for the choir newcomers (along with Chorus of Men from "The Demon" and Gaudeamus).

This tradition caused another one: in the end of each choir's anniversary concert, all the former choristers being present among the audience come to the stage and sing these famous choruses together with the main part of the choir.
