Vachon concert audio

There are two types of audio files to listen to. (You will want to "right click" and open each link into a new window.)

The first kind are Josée's original recordings. These were the inspiration for my arrangements. You can find these here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b78ieolkltdet6c/AACIyGIfX9oJFRWL9TYs7o1Wa?dl=0

The second kind are electronic versions of my arrangements. These are the actual notes that you'll be singing. These are here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dkrdjl2a68boy9e/AABJiquTFs28NGb4EmDI7yBva?dl=0

Please note that there is no Vachon recording of "Le doux chagrin." Here is a YouTube performance of a slightly different version: https://youtu.be/bAYwvfT5YoQ Here's a struggling performance that's closer to our version: https://youtu.be/6k2wbJHxCBI?t=26s

Spring 2017 repertoire
