Choir

[silverflight8]

Today, we got a visit from a choir conductor (well, he was paid to come, but anyways). He had so much energy and passion--his arms did flail and make strange gestures and so on, but he got sixty people to sing with musical inflection, bring out the stressed words and the musicality, and remained very optimistic throughout. And he also got through all of the repertoire our real conductor had given him--we often only do two pieces (and they're very short)--which was nice because our conductor had chosen some distinct styles (madrigals + folk songs + modern music + all sorts of other things) and it was interesting to run through them.

It would have been an amazing rehearsal, except that the first honk of the car (the back of the room was partially opened to allow air in) made everyone jump a mile, and then the rest of the time was punctuated by other car sounds. Ah, well.




I apologize if this isn't rational/stylistically awful. I'm really pressed for time.
