Useful Website Music Links
The ICC&CS Pages on the ACIthaca.org website have much useful information. One of the most helpful pages is the Music for the Spring Semester page. On the page we have YouTube videos of both the Reicha Requiem and the Gounod Messe Chorale. As of today, we have added audio tracks for the German Latin pronunciation for the Reicha Requiem, created by Director Gerald Ford/Wolfe.
Go to http://acithaca.org/groups/icccs/music/ to listen to these files. If you would like copies of the pronunciation files, bring a USB flash drive to rehearsal and see Ed - he will copy the files to your flash drive.
