I decided that I needed to continue singing and I saw a group on line. On Sunday night I trekked on out to the rehearsal space and sat in the Alto row, sore throat and all. I was asked to introduce myself, and then placed in the 1st Alto section. I was handed some music and told to sing along.
The music includes (so far):
The music includes (so far):
- Jesus Christ the apple tree by Elizabeth Poston - tune from Divine Hymns compiled y Joshua Smith.
- Three kings from Persian lands afar by Peter Cornelius
- It Came Upon The Midnight Clear - traditional English tune adapted by Arthur Sullivan
- Wassail song a traditional carol arranged by R. Vaughan Williams
Notice the lack of capital letters in song titles? I know, as a teacher, that these are incorrect, but it's the way they are in the music, so . . .
By far the Wassail song will be the most challenging so far. There were 10 sopranos, 8 altos, 2 tenors and 3 in the bass section. Our concert will be December 9th, so if anyone wants a ticket, let me know. The ticket includes a nice buffet meal at the Intercontinental Hotel. I also have a bed you can sleep in.
