Finally, I have some happy for you
WHAT A DAY!
Thanks to the lovely peeps in Gloriana Chamber Choirwho allowed me to be a ring-in 2nd soprano to sing the magnificent, pants-wettingly-good Rachmaninoff Vespers, to an overflowing church full of lovely responsive audience.
Responsive? They actually drummed their feet on the floor of the all-polished-wood church and clapped for minutes and minutes at the end, including applauding us as we walked all the way out of the church.
And with a Melbourne audience, that is saying something.
A hyoooj sing, dripping with sweat most of the way through, and I had to sing the second half just in my socks so I could stretch out my feet between movements to keep the pins-and-needles to a minimum.....but as a tenor I know once said: what a way to go!
And then we repaired to t'pub, the wonderful Napier Hotel a scant half-block - and a small half-block at that - from the Church for a PCBNG&S (Post Concert Beer, Nosh, Goss & Sing) in the glorious afternoon sunshine.
Perfection.
