Today I will mostly be singing Hallelujah

[narenek]

Today I joined several hundred other people in singing Handel's Hallelujah Chorus as part of a project called Oxford Sings, under the supervision of Ivor Setterfield.Spent the morning in a workshop to brush up on the basics of he piece. Some present had never seen the piece before and there was a good atmosphere of learning and fun about the place

Sounds like a pretty cool event. I didn't get to sign Messiah this year :(

And apparently I need a capital C on Choir to make it work. Ho hum. Let's try this.

It was apparently on Warren Lee, and his show is available as Listen Again on Radio Oxford but last night it was still the 7th Jan show up. My mum says it wasn't on in the first hour (when she stopped listening) but she might have missed it while wrangling smallclanger.

Went to my (very nice) GP this morning and was greeted with "you did the Hallelujah yesterday, didn't you? I hope you're not here with a sore throat". Apparently she was about 10 rows behind me and I blanked her at some point in the foyer. Oops. :-)

Around 1hr4 - I just clicked in to 1hr6 and got "and he shall reign". :)

That's awesome. I didn't realize you sang.
Something new every day. :)

Ooooh! Cool :-)

Sounds like you had a fun time too which is good. I knew all those years in the OUP basements singing whilst servers booted up was n't a waste; that one day, the Singing Sys Admin's Secret Talent would be discovered ;-)
