HARVARD GLEE CLUB & HARVARD GLEE CLUB ALUMNI
RECORDING BIEBL’S AVE MARIA
Virtual Rehearsal & Recording Tutorial - Monday, November 30, 4:30pm-5:30pm
Submissions Due by December 4
“This Fall, HGC has been learning, preparing, and recording various holiday pieces for a Lessons and Carols service with our friends from the Ashmont Boys Choir. Our “virtual performance” of the work will take place in late December. We enthusiastically invite our alumni to join us for a mass-virtual choir performance of Biebl’s Ave Maria. It would be wonderful to see as many of you as possible for our joint zoom rehearsal on Monday, November 30! Thanks for your support of HGC, most especially during these challenging times.“
Dr. Andrew Clark, Director of Choral Activities

INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECORDING
Review the recording checklist below:
Please skim the Harvard website for best practices with webcam position/room lighting:
Key points in the above doc: light primarily from the front, not back; place the camera at eye level.
• If possible, please have a light colored, uniform blank wall behind you that will facilitate separating your image from the background
• Attire: HGC will be wearing our semiformal attire: blue blazer, white dress shirt, HGC tie. No worries if you present a close variation.
• Record in the highest resolution possible (4k is fine) and using headphones (double check to ensure the guide track is not audible in your recording before submitting)
• If recording with a phone, it is preferable it not be hand-held, and record in portrait orientation
• Please hold position at the end of performance, as you would do so live - and smile!
