In addition to the Choral Wiki, many denominations offer royalty-free downloads of their choral music. I once directed a Lutheran choir and found that getting anything from Lutheran websites required a credit card. The Church of England and the Mormons had the best deals on free downloads. Often, I had to arrange the music, but that was cheaper than paying per copy.

Metropolis “an der kamera Karl Freund” immigrated to the United States in 1929. He was also cinematographer for such pictures as Key Largo. He met and worked with a young “B” picture actress named Lucille Ball who in 1950 asked Freund to join her and Desi Arnaz for a new TV program called I Love Lucy. At that time, there were no videotape recording machines only Kinescopes (filming a live production monitor). Desi and Lucy lived in CA, but sponsors wanted them back in New York. They said no, but offered to film the sitcom in front of a live audience so that the show could be shown at anytime. Freund (known as papa in Hollywood) helped them do that creating the first “reruns” for television. His lighting scheme, camera setup are still used today in sitcom TV. 🎥🎞️📽️📺
