Our Christmas concert...
Dec. 5th, 2016 09:09 pm... takes place on December 17. We're going to sing the following pieces:
Gounod: Ave Maria
Coventry Carol
Angels We Have Heard on High
Ding Dong Merrily on High
It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
Kodály: Karácsonyi pásztortánc
Karai: Vasi betlehemes
Pueri concinite
Bárdos: Karácsonyi bölcsődal
To say that it's an ambitious programme would be the understatement of the century. We're scared witless, especially about the Gounod Ave Maria. Our choir leader seems to forget sometimes that most of us are middle-aged people, and teachers at that, whose voices has been seriously eroded by decades in this educational business.
Somehow we always manage, though, even if a bit less stressful programme would be welcome. That way we would make fewer mistakes, I think. But while she's a lovely person, in some things there is no use arguing with her.
