Mouthful Album Recording

 
 

Resources Page for Singers

This year, we’ve committed ourselves to recording a new Mouthful album, and we’d love to involve our wider singing community. As well as 8 tracks of Mouthful songs, we’re planning to include 4 tracks of Mouthful and choirs, so we’re planning two recording sessions with groups of singers in the spring and the autumn where we will form a ‘scratch’ choir to record a song composed by each of the 4 of us in Mouthful.

Mar 22nd / 23rd, Penrith

The first weekend will be MARCH 22nd / 23rd, around Penrith, and we plan to record the following (click on each title for scores and MP3 reharsal files):

  1. Dave’s arrangement of Robert Southey’s Cataract of Lodore about the famous waterfall in Borrowdale

  2. Katherine’s song Under Your Eaves celebrating the diversity of birdlife

Here’s a recording of a quartet version of Dave’s song recorded a few years ago at Lodore Falls with Helen Chadwick depping for Bex:
