I have no experience in audio production and the only equipment I have is a netbook with freeware software (audacity). But, being involved in the Virtual Choir as a Kickstarter backer and especially as a singer has meant so much to me that I wanted to be involved in this stage of the project in whatever way I could. 

I love the electronics in the original but was curious to see what it would sound like with just the vocals, piano and softer strings. I hope you like it!

Text:

Fear Not, Dear Friend
by Robert Louis Stevenson

Fear not, dear friend, but freely live your days
Though lesser lives should suffer. Such am I,
A lesser life, that what is mine of sky
Gladly would give for you, and what of praise.
Step, without trouble, down the sunlit ways.
We that have touched your raiment, are made whole
From all the selfish cankers of our souls,
And we would see you happy, dear, or die.
Therefore be brave, and therefore, dear, be free;
Try all things resolutely, till the best,
Out of all lesser betters, you shall find;
And we, who have learned greatness from you, we,
Your lovers, with a still, contented mind,
See you well anchored in some port of rest.

Fear Not, Dear Friend (SATB Choir)
