7th Grade

Space

Our Program

The 7th Grade Chorus chose to explore a concert theme of "Space". You will hear two virtual choir projects and see our deep dive into the Beatles discography. We hope you enjoy the products of our remote learning classroom!

In class we brainstormed different aspects of space that turn up in music. The singers discussed everything from celestial bodies to aliens to space travel. From there, students chose their program from a list of songs with similar singing challenges and learning opportunites (see above!)

Count the Stars by Andy Beck

Take 1

This is both the 7th graders' and Miss Connors's very first virtual choir! It debuted at the first remote WMS faculty meeting in May.

7th gr Data

A regular part of rehearsal and good musicianship is analyzing a performance and setting specific goals for improvement. Students used a google form to critique the first recording and decided to focus on improving their Latin pronunciation, vowel shape, and dynamic contrast.

Our data doc is included above!

Final Cut

All Descant parts by Evelyn Harrison

7th Grade Chorus would like to dedicate this recording in remembrance of all those who have lost their lives to COVID-19

This is word cloud art is a product of themes that emerged from the singers' reflective writing assignments after researching the Requiem text included in this composition.

Here Comes the Sun, arr. Alan Billingsley

The Beatles

Each 7th Grade Chorus member chose one song to investigate. We hope to show how this group of creative musicians evolved over their short time together.

Here Comes the Sun

The accompanying video includes members of our choir presenting their activities, people, pets, objects, and thoughts that bring them happiness and hope.

The Singers

In WMS Chorus, we've named our voice treble parts "Wellesley" and "Raider" because the singers perform both as Sopranos (high voices) and Altos (low voices), switching voice parts for each song. This helps our singers to build the ability to sing harmony, but also maintaining access to their higher range.
