Hi All!
Christ is Risen!
I recently uploaded a few YouTube videos of the choir I was in when I lived in Pittsburgh. Let me know what you think. We should have more videos going up soon, as time allows (with a CD of Pascha to be released soon, as well).

Just FYI, we now have maybe 16 people max (we all go to the same church and sing most of the services). We are a mixed choir, which I have learned can be "controversial"; currently, we don't have the abilities to split into all male and all female, and prefer to sing together until then. Many of our members are converts, and some of us have Western training in music, therefore our diatonic and soft chromatic intervals are a work in progress...we have improved over the years, but cannot yet reliably assume the correct placement of certain notes, based upon ear and voice training (and, for those familiar with the Arabic version of "Moses the Great", we have changed "seventh day" to enharmonic in the written music...).

Thanks!
With Love in our Risen Lord,
Nick
