That is AWESOME. Even if the comments make me want to stab myself in the eye.

Also: what voice part do you sing (out of curiosity), and do you want me to see if I still have the score I never gave back after SLU Concert Choir did Messiah?

Any chance you could pick me up?

The white Sunbird is down for the count until after December 8th, when we get a cash infusion. I still have my Messiah score, and I think I can still sing the alto part.

Re: Any chance you could pick me up?

[angevin2]

Yeah, I could do that. :)

Superb!

I'll mark my calendar and brush off the score.

Got out my score and realized how long it's been since I've sung it

I bought this one for a Messiah singalong 16 years ago. EEEP! I actually last sang the oratorio more than 20 years ago. Most of my voice is gone, alas, so I shall be singing very, very quietly, and skipping all the long runs. Also big chunks of fugues, especially when I get lost, which is a LOT! I just sang through all the choruses with the help of YouTube and the MIT Chorus which is on WikiMedia or some other Wiki resource. I sounded a tad better when I finished than when I started, but I still suck.

It'll still be fun, however.

I have the grey Schirmer edition, edited by Max Spicker. I'll bet there will be a whole bunch of different editions there, however.

My orange book is on the music shelf, all marked up. I'm a soprano - usually a SS on messiah.

[angevin2]

I'm an alto, so I guess we'll have to meet up beforehand or possibly afterwards...
