N.B. No pitches were digitally tuned. What you hear are the genuine kids.
Audio handling:
-
syncing up the voices
-
balancing the voices
-
removing random noises
-
occasional reverb
At the height of the pandemic...
We refused to be silenced. Three semesters were spent holding choral rehearsals online. YMC takes great pride in its amazing kids and they, in turn, take great pride in the remarkable music they created:
