the pre-programmed repertoire of classic songs have been created and performed using an algorithm based on counterpoint melody, a compositional technique that refers to the independent but complementary relationship between two or more lines of melody played at the same time. (applause)
to get the choir started, they need a helping hand. a sensor inside the speaker module reacts to vibration and movement, so controlling choir is a playful experience in itself. gently tap the doll on its head or on the table to trigger play or pause, or tilt the doll left or right to decrease or increase the volume accordingly. if it gets annoying, it can handle a little smack to turn it off.
based on cultures and characters from across the world, every doll is unique and has it's own vocal tonality. while each is given their own voice type, a single doll can customize their vocal range to sing a dynamic solo performance. when more than one member of the choir are placed together, in any combination, they communicate with each other, and recognize the choral members in range, joining in a full choral experience.
our beloved choir comes with a collection of compositions, classic songs from baroque to folk: 1. ernest ball, dave reed jr. – love me, and the world is mine 2. tom pitts, raymond egan, roy marsh – i never knew 3. wilhelm stenhammar – wilhelm stenhammar 4. theodore morse, henry buck – dear old girl 5. robert schumann, friedrich rückert – gute nacht 6. harry armstrong, richard gerard husch – sweet adeline 7. trad. european – warm-up exercise: signore 8. al piantadosi, joe mccarthy – in all my dreams, i dream of you 9. trad. israel kolmodin – den blomstertid nu kommer 10. trad. american folk – i've been working on the railroad 11. mykola leontovych – shchedryk (carol of the bells) 12. trad. via robert burns – auld lang syne 13. thomas morley – now is the month of maying 14. trad. medieval – gaudeamus igitur 15. trad. european – warm-up exercise: zing-a-mama 16. shelton brooks – the darktown strutters' ball 17. ludwig van beethoven – an die freude 18. charles wood, thomas oliphant – deck the halls 19. adolf fredrik lindblad – en sommarafton 20. pierre attaingnant, césar geoffray – tourdion 21. les applegate – goodbye my coney island baby 22. johann sebastian bach – o haupt voll blut und wunden – AND IN CLASSIC TEENAGE ENGINEERING MANNER, UPDATES WILL CERTAINLY FOLLOW.
