The Glade 4.0

So The Eclipse is being released next month (March 18) in the U.S.; it is by Irish director Conor McPherson. My brother's choir sings the soundtrack for the movie.

Anyway, here is a trailer for it...

Cool. Caught the faint sound of the boys choir at the end of the trailer...sounds good.

Nah, it isn't a boys choir. They are all post-college. But they sing more like an English choir, which means straight tone, little vibrato except in certain places and songs where it belongs (if they are singing a spiritual for instance). So the sopranos are actually women.

Here is another video of a performance they did on Irish morning TV.

They performed with Andrea Bocelli when he went to Dublin, and they also won an international choir competition a few months ago.

Oh ok. It sounded very much like a boys choir at the end of the trailer. I'll have to listen again.

Nice. I'm not a fan of vibrato in choir anyway, since it usually isn't in sync (and therefore sounds worse). Very cool.

Yeah, some American choirs tend to be in love with vibrato. But with serious choral music you have these tight harmonies, that if you are singing with a lot of vibrato it makes those harmonies very mushy. There are definitely places for it, but it isn't to be used constantly.

Edit: And oh, I just looked at the youtube comments for the movie trailer, rofl...It is filled with a bunch of teenagers upset because they thought it was a trailer for some twilight movie called Eclipse.

The Twilight comments make me sad for society.
