A summary of the Washington concert.
I hope I am not mistaken in my memories. I will correct after the next concert if necessary.
Very nice concert. Everyone was in perfect control. The deep voices were present, with 6 boys back row and novelty, ambient microphones located in front of the 6 bigs.
A lot of echo in the huge basilica.
01) Vespera
Solo: Lucas. Couldn't see who was doing the solos. It should have been Oskar H like in April in Korea, but he wasn't on stage the whole concert. He was present at the rehearsal and signings. The concert was done at 33 and not 34.
02) Sanctus
High Notes by Luca
03) Wayfaring Stranger
Solo: Frederick H.
04) Ave Maria
Solo: Luca
05) From A Distance
Solo: Nathan
06) O Beata
Solo: Mitchel, with Victor behind him.
07) The Lighthouse
Solo: Luca, joined at the end by Daniel, Morgan, and Laurence D.
08) Voca Me
High Notes by Luca
09) Beati
Solo (at the start): Nathan and Pietro
10) Libera
Solo: Frederick M and Mitchel
11) Lux Aeterna
Introduction in plainsong, in procession in two rows, from the back of the stage, to the left and to the right.
Then solo: Morgan and Hal
Particularity: at the end the boys got into position for the next song (The Prayer), with Joseph standing in the front center and all the others kneeling behind him. Surprising to see them take the positions of the next song while still singing the previous song. The audience was unsettled and there was no applause after Lux Aeterna. There was, however, a gap between the two songs.
12) The Prayer
Solo: Joseph
13) Total Praise
New: a compact triangle formation, with Joseph at the forefront.
Solo: Joseph on the front lines. Then joined by Thomas S-H and Pietro on subsequent lines, then joined by several others, a cappella. Then everyone with music.
14) Ave Verum
Solo: Frederick M.
Small changes in the voice. He no longer makes certain long sustained notes at once but twice, beginning and end.
15) I Am The Day
Solo: Morgan.
At the end, the call between high and low notes: Thomas M and Daniel.
16) Love Shine A Light
Solo: Mitchell
17) Once An Angel
Solo: Nathan and Frederick H.
18) God Only Knows
Solo: Luca and Daniel
19) Sing For Our World
chorus
20) (encore) Smile
Solo: Mitchel with Victor behind him
I am glad to see they are training new soloists (Pietro, Thomas SH, Hal) and curious to read everyone's opinion on their performance.
I am surprised that not so many songs from the last album made it to stage. I thought Far Away and Anima Christi would be performed, though I noticed the boys sticking close to their music sheets during the mass so I deduced they were not familiar enough with the song to perform it at the concert...
