Please submit your Camp Chorus part (audio and visual) by Thursday, August 6th.
HOW?
Please email us a link to your audio/video files.
Email address to use: info@leahymusiccamp.com
You can use whichever method works for you, but suggestions are:
We-Transfer - send us a link

File Formats to send us your recordings:
mp3, mp4, wave, mov, aiff
When recording your part, listen to your guide track (vocal, piano, violin, etc.) with earbuds and determine your entry point - when you'll need to start recording yourself. There will be different entry points for each instrument/vocal part. Remember that your final audio recording should have just you and your recording on it. All of the guide tracks should not be heard on your final recording. The world of recording technology is an exciting place and once you figure it all out, you will want to visit and explore it even more! Good luck and enjoy the adventure!

Ae Fond Kiss
Robert Burns
1. Ae fond kiss, and then we sever;
Ae fareweel, and then forever!
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
Who shall say that Fortune grieves him,
While the star of hope she leaves him?
Me, nae cheerfu' twinkle lights me
Dark despair around benights me.
2. I’ll ne'er blame my partial fancy,
Naething could resist my Nancy;
But to see her was to love her;
Love but her, and love forever.
Had we never lov'd sae kindly,
Had we never lov'd sae blindly,
Never met—or never parted—
We had ne'er been broken-hearted.

5) When recording, listen to the Camp Chorus with all violins with earbuds. If possible, count out loud with the piano intro 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3... Don't worry if you miss the first count. Only count during the first three bars, please don't count on the fourth bar. We will take the count out of your video. This will make it easier to sync.
