There are many types of virtual choir or band, but the one thing that is in common is that the people on the recording you hear were not in the same room at the same time. This has therefore flourished a lot during lockdown 2020. It's also helped us keep in touch and continue to work with people who sing and play with us while in Tenerife but are currently not even in the same country as each other.
For our Virtual Choir (and band) we have created basic backing tracks, which are sent out by email. The choir and band members then record their parts (sometimes more than one - especially true for echoes and harmonies) while listening to these tracks and send them back. These recordings are made on a variety of devices, from mobile phones to Digital Audio Workstations. They are then assembled into one mix and used in our service on that Sunday.
Those on these recordings are:
(not everyone is on every recording - this is supposed to be fun so there is no obligation to record everything, and some people joined us for special occasions, such as the "Carols by Zoomlight" service)
