My sweetie was gone to a reenactment on Saturday which somehow made me forget to write on the blog!
We barely got a dusting so the choir was able to do our pieces from the Messiah! "Surely he has borne our griefs" and "With his stripes we are healed". I think we are doing the Amen in a couple weeks. Love doing anything from the Messiah. Thank you Mr. Jones for having us do it in high school chorus!! That laid a firm foundation for singing it in future choruses.
Now I need to work on "Lord, let me know mine end". I don't care for the subject matter and this Maurice Greene who wrote it apparently didn't care that he has everyone singing different words all at the same time so there is no way to listen to the other sections to help keep one on track! He died in 1755 so I can't complain to him. Ha! Well....it was for instances such as this that I got the keyboard so I WILL work on this piece this week. Oh yeah...and my other complaint is that at times he has the altos going WAY above the sopranos. Unnatural!!
If I had written on Saturday I would have said how much I love it when the air is "soft". This sometimes happens in the Spring - although with climate change it now sometimes happens in the pre-Spring! A taste of what is to come.
H took Dora for her morning walk and he reports that she is now friends with the young German Shepard down the street. He let her off the leash to say hello and then the lady came out on her porch and called her dog so of course Dora went with her. H called Dora back and both dogs came back to him! Too funny! I suppose if they'd had the time that could have gone on all morning.
