Vocal Track - "So This is Love" from Disney's "Cinderella"

We're at it again!

Tonight we rehearsed and recorded the vocal track for "So This is Love". We *might* be a little excited about Disney's new "Cinderella"!

If you're looking for us, we're in our recording studio (aka, Tanya's Closet)....singing....and trying on hats. :)

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" - Collage

We had such a fun time recording our next music video! More details to come, after the contest has closed.

In the meantime, here's a teaser collage :)

Vocal Track - "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

Busy day! We're excited about the pre-screening party tomorrow. :)

...And, we're getting ready for another contest! We recorded the vocal track for "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" tonight. It turned out really well. We're planning to shoot the music video next week. We'll be sure to post the final product next month!

Recording "Lament of the Highborne", from World of Warcraft

Those of you who know our family, know that we're kind of nerdy. A lot of time we spend our nights together playing World of Warcraft (WoW), an online computer role-playing game. We love the haunting "Lament of the Highborne" song from WoW and thought it would be amazing to record it.

We bought the sheet music, arranged the parts, and recorded it with the help of our friend, the talented Sylvia Muhlstein, on St. Patrick's Day. John Sergeant did an incredible job accompanying us.

 Natalie did a wonderful job with the main part (Sylvanas); the rest of us had fun as the chorus (banshees):

Looking forward to the final recording!

Recording "Consider the Lilies" at the Hoffman House

Today we recorded,"Consider the Lilies". It's a beautiful song with incredible lyrics. It was written by Roger Hoffman and we had the privilege of recording it in his studio. Our awesome pianist John Sergeant arranged it into 5 parts for us and accompanied us for the recording.

A huge thank you to Roger for your amazing song and the experience of recording with you again. And another huge thank you to John for your hard work and happy countenance during long recordings.

Recording "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

Today we recorded "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" to send to America's Got Talent. One of our goals is to sing so well that we make our Mom cry with joy.

We made Mom cry, so we're happy with how it turned out. :)

"One World" CD Cover is Done

Tomorrow we leave for Los Angeles! We're taking our "One World" recording to give to the judges and finished the CD cover just in time:

Our Recording of "One World" is Done!

This afternoon we picked up the Track for "One World". It's quite pretty! Here's a link to listen to it: GaleSong One World

Thanks Muse Music for all of your help and fast work getting it edited for us:

Recording the Music Track for "One World"

Tiffany bought the sheet music for "One World", arranged our parts, and emailed each of us with our part this past Sunday. She's going to school at BYU-Idaho, so she made the 4-hour drive to Utah yesterday so we could rehearse together for the first time.

Today we recorded the music track! Our awesome friend John Sergeant accompanied us.

For those of you doing the math, yep, we had 4 days to learn the song, 1 day of practicing together, and then we recorded it! Haha! Tiffany arranged it, sang it with us, and also played her cello for the recording. THAT is talent, folks.

We leave to pick up the finished recording in a few hours; can't wait to hear how it sounds!

The Beginnings of GaleSong

About GaleSong:

We are five sisters who have recently formalized our singing group, although we have been singing together for many years. We range in age from 30 to 14 years old and our voices range from high soprano to low alto. Our favorite songs are those that allow us to do tight harmonies; we especially enjoy Celtic, Christian Contemporary, Classical, Jazz, and Country Music.

Our Dream:

We love using music to express how we feel. Our goal as GaleSong is to be role models and examples to other young women and ladies. We recognize that each of us has experienced trials and difficulties in life. Even though we have all felt sad, alone, and lost at times, music has a very powerful way of lifting us up and inspiring us to better ourselves and enjoy life.

Before GaleSong:

We have always enjoyed singing together and have wanted to record a CD for several years. Our wonderful parents, Craig and Cynthia Gale, decided to buy us time in a recording studio for our Christmas present in 2007.

Our goal was to sing some of our favorite songs and have them professionally recorded for our family and friends to enjoy. In two sessions in the fall of 2007 (30 Aug 2007, 20 Nov 2007), we recorded 14 songs and put them onto two CDs that we titled, “Blessings” and “Over The Rainbow”. We were very pleased with the recordings and shared the CDs with relatives and close friends.

Everyone who heard the CDs commented that we have beautiful voices and that we should market ourselves to a bigger audience! We decided to plan on doing some more recordings at a future date and find out how to sell our CDs.

 Ending Thoughts:

We hope you'll enjoy reading our Blog! We'll try to keep it updated with our performances, trips, recordings, and lots of pictures.

Recording at the Hoffman House, Part 2!

Tonight we finished recording with Roger Hoffman. It was another long, wonderful day.

We're grateful to Jon Sergeant for his amazing piano skills, Roger and Melanie Hoffman for their kindness as we learn about recordings, and our parents for their confidence and incredible support.

Looking forward to hearing the final recordings after Roger works his editing magic!

A New Endeavor

Today we started recording our first CD!!! It was a lot of work but very rewarding.

Let's start at the beginning...the 6 of us are siblings and we've been singing together since we were little. As a Christmas present for family and friends this year, our parents wanted a professional recording of us performing some of our favorite songs.

Mom and Dad know the Hoffmans (Roger and Melanie) from Church and we're excited to be recording in their studio, Hoffman House. We've spent the past few months deciding on songs, arranging them, practicing, and getting ready for today.
