Listen to the professional recordings made by the choir at St. Philip's in the Hills during the rehearsals the week before the UK residency. It's remarkable how great the recording engineer made us sound. These are on the St. Philip's in the Hills web site, and are available to the public.

Professional recordings: Worcester Cathedral Residency


Are you still reflecting, remembering, dreaming of the UK Residency? Do you still have the music running through your head?

Have you returned to the States from England? Some people took some extended travels before coming home. I flew straight from England to Portland, Oregon for an annual Viola da Gamba Conclave, playing music of a different sort for a week. Ultimately, I had to return home to Tucson, to get back to work. Please excuse the delay in my posting of all the audio files from the trip. I hope you all enjoyed the photos in the album. Many were my photos, and many were collected from all of you. Thanks for your contributions, including photos, your wonderful voices, and your support as we traveled, explored, and experienced so much.

Our fearless leader, Woosug, has left Tucson, moving on to a new adventure with new challenges. I will certainly miss him. I wish him success and happiness in his new position. I will never forget the Worcester Cathedral Residency. It was an experience of a lifetime. I can hardly believe we really did it!

If you downloaded any of the audio files in the Worcester_With_Woosug folder before Sunday, August 14, 2016, you may want to download them again. I discovered a much improved method of normalizing the volume and reducing some of the noise on the recordings. I think the quality is much improved from my original posting.

There are now audio (MP3) files available from our complete trip, other than the beginning of the Mass in Phoenix at All Saint's Episcopal, where I forgot to start my recorder until the Peace in the middle of the service. There are individual "tracks", and all-in-one daily files.

The single all-in-one MP3 files area available for each day of the trip. These are 30 to 60 minutes long, and will typically stream from the web fairly well with a decent connection. You may also download them.


I would like to remind you that there are restrictions on recordings made in Worcester Cathedral. It is Woosug's wish that we respect this restriction. That is why we have not made these recordings public on the web, and why it is necessary to have an account to get access to the files. Please respect this limitation. Let your family and close friends hear what we did, but don't post the recordings publicly on the web. Thank you for that.


This folder under the Worcester_With_Woosug Media folder contains all the daily audio MP3 files from the trip, including a file from All Saints' Episcopal in Phoenix, the Evensong at St. Philip's before we left, and each day of the UK Residency in which we sang services.
