Europe Anthem: The Making of the Malta Part
A month ago Ms. Fava (Project Coordinator) and our English teachers approached us to ask whether we would be interested to sing part of the European Anthem. She also explained to us that the school was participated in a project together with six others schools from six different European Countries. We both accepted. Subsequently, Ms. Brincat (Project Coordinator) gave us the text to study and decided when we would be recording.
Indeed, the recording was set to be on Friday 17th February 2017, a busy day for both of us since it was just after an examination. Nonetheless, we were eager to and a bit shy to do it since we were told that it was going to be filmed as well.
In class, where the recording and filming was going to be held, apart from Ms. Brincat, Ms. Fava and Mr. Mizzi who are coordinating the project, there were also Mr. Garcia (Music Teacher) and Mr. Formosa (eLearning Support Teacher).
Mr. Garcia advised us about the beat, intonation, and a number of other singing arrangements. He also accompanied us with his guitar. He also suggested that it would be better if the first four lines were sang separately, and the final part jointly.
Thus, after a couple of rehearsing, it was the time to record the mp3 version. Following that, it was the time for the video recording. The recording was taken by Mr. Formosa who will also edit and arrange the whole clip with the contributions of all partners.
It was a very enriching experience and we are eager to see the final product finalised.
