Well, I got a tape in the mail Saturday from Animaterra (Allision, two Ls) and it just rocks. It's her a cappella choir and she/they have done a wonderful job. Great rhythms, impeccable harmonies. You'll just want to dash up there to New Hampshire and join up...

Check it out -- you can order a tape from Animaterra, and they'll have new CDs and tapes coming out after the first of the year as well.

I recommend 'em highly.

WyoWoman who simply has to find herself a good choir soon

I got to listen some more on my way home. Very nice. I'd like to order one for a friend of mine who's a choir director. How do I do that?

WYO, you've got to start your own. Believe me it's NOT difficult! You'll get a shitload of help from Mudcat if you ask.

Yes, Wyo, and thanks for all the great praise. I just put it out that I was interested in starting a "small singing group: and got woman the first night- and I hardly knew any of them. That summer we had 22, that fall we had 45, and we've capped it at 60 just to keep it intimate- sorta. And this is in sleepy little Keene, NH which is a busy place culturally but doesn't have a huge population- 23,000 at last count. If you build it, they will come!
BTW, if anyone DOES want a cd of our next concert, email me for details. I'll give a portion to Mudcat for each one.

Just told my buddy Bonnie Kraft about the comments on the CD, and she was amazed to have a fan in Wyoming. I may try to get down for that concert in December.

I just got my first Animaterra CD, their Spring Concert 1999 "Carry It Home," and it is fantastic! Libana's got nothing on these wimmin! Wonderful, wonderful, Allison, esp. your arrangements and obvious superb direction. Thank you, thank you, now I am going to have to send you a check for the other ones you have available!

I just moved from Keene; I think I used to hear Animaterra rehearsing at Antioch, when I would be leaving the building in the evening after classes--is that true? I never found out at the time who the singers were, so I wasn't sure.

When?
Where?
How (much)?
Who? (I already know that.)
Why? (I already know that too.)

And the questions apply to the concert.

OK, ok, here's the scoop:

First, the concert is this Friday and Saturday night, at the Keene Unitarian Universalist Church on Washington St., Keene, NH at 7:30. No reservations are taken, but come early! "Suggested donation" is $7.

To order a cd, pm me with your address and what you want and how many. Or you can just let me choose for you! Spring programs are often focused on "women's music" and also we like to sing Balkan and/or African stuff; winter tends to be a bit more serious and usually has some solstice/Christmas/Chanukah stuff. CDs are $20, but we have some older tapes now on sale for $6!!

For more info on any of this stuff, email me (taking a deep breath, I know I'm taking a risk posting this here:) [e-mail]

And thanks for all the kind words! I really love what I do!

Bother! This weekend is pretty well booked. there's a northern Harmony concert up here on Friday (and i'll really have to move to get out of the Kitchen and over to the concert by 7:30) and then Saturday is a road trip with friends. They are early music snobs, so I don't think we can squeeze Keene into the trip. Maybe I can lie. . .

Have fun singing!! And thanks for checking CamiSu

I'd like to hear a little more about the type of material that y'all perform. Also, how large is your repertoire and what type of venues do you usually perform at? Good luck this weekend.
