Providence Singers Virtual Choir - Ave Maria (Franz Biebl)

The Providence Singers is proud to present the first virtual choir video of the 2020-2021 season: Franz Biebl’s “Ave Maria." Sung by 75 members of the Providence Singers, this video was created by artistic director Christine Noel.
Franz Biebl (1906-2001) was a German composer of classical music. He first composed this setting of “Ave Maria” for men’s chorus, but later wrote arrangements for mixed choir and woman’s chorus. This arrangement is set for two choirs: a four-part choir and a three-part choir (soprano, alto, and tenor.) First published in 1964, it was included in the Cornell University Glee Club’s Christmas programs and became famous when the Chanticleer ensemble made it part of their regular repertoire.

You probably do have the opportunity, if you live a distance like 30 miles, or whatever it is worth to you to drive to rehearsals in a greater metropolitan area of at least 100,000, or small city of 50,000. You can find rides, and if not, I have sometimes scheduled rehearsals at the homes of those who can't drive or who are even bed-ridden. If even once a year, it greatly boosts morale.
If you don't mind churches, they are everywhere. And barbershop quartets are common too, male and female. More people sing than you know. But if you are outside the geography I mentioned, try the many online "virtual groups" who sing through their computers, and then at a scheduled time, listened to their merged results as a "virtual chorus," make comments, laugh, chatter, and even vote to kick out the "dead weight" or complainer "troll" types. I suggest avoid the religious types, unless you are one.
