The Famine Song

A moving piece performed by Walled Lake Western's Chamber Singers Black Ensemble. The sounds you here at the end are us snapping our fingers to simulate the sound of rain.

We sang this for the ASU leadership choir. I was a bass. Best part of the song is how low the bass gets and the sopranos get so high

[@destineemartinez415]

I absolutely love this song. My select chorus is singing this right now. The soloists are amazing in this video. Can't wait to try out for the solos.

[@bluebelt224]

Man, the acoustics in the room are great. And the choir sounds nice and loud.

[@SonofAdam33]

Not an easy song to do either musically or emotionally. A pleasure to listen to.

[@alexiadoresposh]

[@Kel.music.]

[@brawlerike1]

i love this piece

[@razoranderson38]

this is nice the chamber choir at my school just did this for their first concert just last tuesday

[@EarthbenderKyra001]

My choir's going to state this year with this song and this is an amazing version of this piece. I love the dynamics on the "rains" and good sound. Only thing that could have used some work was the placement of your voices to make it sound more authentic, but otherwise it was amazing.

[@bikinibabe56]

the soloists have beautiful tone quality...but a pure AH would be nice as well as a bit more blend. Wonderful performance overall!

[@jesssicaholland]

it's supposed to be lamenting, that's why they sounded like that :) but you're right it was amazing

[@wfmstigers]

it is amazing how two people can miss the like button i mean if you don't like the video don't bother watching it :P

[@woozle7]

You can hear the original Famine Song by Vida on I-tunes or cdbaby.com. It is beautiful.

[@zds931]

i am singin this at school i love it

[@clonetrooper1116]

Great job!! Were performing this song too!! :D

[@Shananahanagan]

My middle school choir is singing this song at a competition on saturday. I'm quite worried. We can't get hardly anyone to sing out and the descant got their parts this week. I'm hoping and praying this and our other song, Plachido e el mar, will turn out well. Very good job. I loved it. I wish the people in my choir would be a bit more serious with it so we could attempt to sound close to that. Bravo. =]

[@PhoenixTears625]

omg we're doing this song now, its so amazing!

[@MadiLovezTacoz007]

I'm singing this in my choir class and i actually really like it lol

[@bucketfullofbutter]

This is so fierce

[@woozle7]

you can hear the original version of famine songs on i-tunes on the album "In Bloom" by Vida - it's beautiful.

[@crweston94]

I love this. I wish the low, low basses were a bit louder

[@StevieRayHendrick]

i frickin love this song lol

[@llamaorlama]

im doing this in choir for middle school

[@bluebelt224]

@bipolarcow999 I can hear a low E from the basses. You just gotta listen closely.

[@wfmstigers]

Could you put an mp3 download of this in the description or something? :)

[@indiepop9483]

The basses sounded like baritones. But they're probably a younger group. It was lovely otherwise.😊

[@therealmeik]

yeet

[@krasstimothy]

Start button --> 0:40

[@TheAudaciousApple789]

am i the only one slightly reminded of music from Avatar by the soloists????

[@bipolarcow999]

Aw... no low E on rain?

[@BlueKnote]

There are some pitch issues throughout, the speed feels too fast - it's famine, not a party. But overall, quite nice. Especially for such a young group.

[@armyboy1207]

Singing this in college our professor tells us how to feel about the song. The first rains are a plea to have it rain. sounds like you are happy and rejoicing. Save it for the end. Great otherwise!

[@kallicorwin6934]

Can anyone give me the lyrics to this???

[@Icyveins906]

One bass is really sticking out. I know it's a chamber chorus, but too much. Otherwise, fantastic as everyone has said. You guys do well switching from dominant to submissive harmonies. Your conductor taught you well. The one tenor needs a slight review on belting the semi-high E. You need to use the mentality of the full-volume to approach the note, but you need to cut back just a hair and open the top of your sinuses to make the resonance deepen. Altos, brava. More Bass. Well Done Sopranos.

[@FleckedPorcelainPage]

I think it's too operatic... it's supposed to be soulful... it's a struggle.. My choir is doing this tomorrow night, I'm in the descant duet... and I love how we do it.

[@DrSmuggle]

Its meant to be rain -_-

[@booknerd39]

The duet was fantastic but the tenors stuck out of the texture more than necessary.
