Treat yourself to the sounds of women's voices.

I am involved in a lot of things because I like to stay busy, but Women's Glee Club (WGC) is my favorite extracurricular activity at Ohio State University.  WGC is comprised of about 100 women who sing in four parts.  I sing Alto II, which is the very lowest (and very best) part.

Here are some links to one of our recent concerts, which was performed in early November 2012 at Bexley Methodist Church in Columbus.    

Enjoy! 

Confitemini Domino, and Jubilate Deo

This is how we usually open our concerts: freak out the audience by singing really loudly behind them, then march creepily up the aisles chanting Latin in a round.  

Wie lieblich sind Deine Wohnungen

This is probably one of my favorite songs because it is just so beautiful.  I love singing this in a mixed standing arrangement so I can immerse myself in all of the different parts.  

Hexenlied

A song about witches!!  Perfectly appropriate for this time of year, though I'm not too sure about singing it in a church...

O Frondens Virga, and I Am Not Yours

We like to do this to our audience after intermission: we surround them and sing at them from all angles.  It has a very cool effect in a space like this.  

Music Down in My Soul

A gospel song.

Gaudete!

This is probably our favorite this year.  It's a real audience-pleaser.  

Traditional Songs of The Ohio State University

...be sure to watch around minute 2... the entire congregation stands for the National Ohio State Anthem (OSU's Alma Mater, "Carmen") and everybody sings along... Oh how I love Ohio and Ohioans.  This is just too cool :) 

May The Road Rise to Meet You

The signature closing song of many WGC concerts.
