free (and fun) online choir quiz from Paul Ayres

The composer and arranger Paul Ayres has prepared an online quiz, to keep us all entertained, amused, and challenged, during this very frustrating period for choirs!

It’s a 12-part series on youtube (each round is 5-10 minutes), and is completely free of charge, with no fee nor log-in required.

Some of the questions will have British/Anglican slant, which is inevitable, I guess.

For example — what comes fourth in a list of four things? S, A, T, … might be easy, but what about K, G, C, …, or 1772 New York, 1768 Florence, 1743 London, …? https://youtu.be/XLOD4IouUww

Or can you identify a choral work by hearing a “special moment” chord it features? https://youtu.be/2Fwfp7WEGO0

And one round is entirely made up of corny jokes: how many sopranos, altos, tenors, basses, conductors, accompanists, etc, does it take to change a lightbulb? https://youtu.be/I0DOHI8eWwk

Here’s a link to the list of episodes:

Please share freely with your choir members and colleagues — and I hope you’ll find it enjoyable!
