No, you haven't gone blind...
But YouTube won't let me post audio files, will it, so I recorded this last night using the cell phone video... All 8 of us were there, for the first time, but no conductor..
We're singing an old Norwegian Christmas song. You can tell we need to work on it, especially as we lose tempo and pitch as we go along. But mostly in tune with eachother, at least...
And the deepest part is mine :)

For no conductor, I'm impressed. I hope you'll share a version when you've all practiced it up a bit. It sounds like a very cool arrangement.
Wow, for a moment I thought you meant it was your family singing - I was shocked but then I remembered the choir. I like that :)
That's really quite a beautiful song! Good job, ladies! I grew up hearing a lot of Scandanavian Christmas music (since most of my childhood friends were "-sons & -sens" and went to Lutheran churches with good choirs!) And my high school and college choir directors both attended St. Olaf College in Minnesota, which has a very rich choral heritage that goes back to the Norwegian and Swedish immigrants who brought the choir music with them. This particular song I hadn't heard before. I'll be listening for more!
