I'm renewing my proposal from last year, and am floating this idea as a trial balloon, both in the journals and in the forums. Pardon the cross-posting.

About
I think it'd be neat to have a bunch of people sing some Christmas carols independently, and to splice that into one whole sequence. Depending on the collective vocal talent, it will either come out as something quite nice (what are the odds?), or a complete mess (a definite possibility, even without trolls at work).
All in the spirit of the season though!
What We Need
What would we need for such an endeavour?
1. Someone to collect and combine everyone's songs into one whole (I'll try my best!)
2. A bunch of singers willing to bare their vocal talents and sing some Christmas carols (that's everyone reading this!)
Aaaand because I don't want to preside over something that's too big a complete mess...
3. Someone to find a nice carol or two (or three) that's already arranged for a choir. And to render each role (bass, tenor, alto, soprano) into an audio file for the singers as a guide (that's you, Concert Hallers!)
All the singers need is a nice microphone (to sing to), a set of earphones (to listen to the guide song), and some quiet time (wouldn't want to wake the neighbors or anything).
The Bad Stuff (Deadlines, shudder)
I want to put this out by the 25th. So everyone needs to have their songs in by December 20 (give me 5 days to work). Going backwards, I guess two weeks (for everyone to record their voices and send it in) sounds reasonable. So we'll need to choose the song, and have an arrangement for each voice by December 7.
Here's where you can start making suggestions, sign up, or otherwise pop this trial balloon right from the get go!
