Weekend

[epistrophia]

This weekend was a bit of a mix. The choral concert which we've been rehearsing for since October was on Saturday.

On Friday I went to help set up the staging etc in the church, and broke myself. Well, actually I strained a wrist, pulled about ten muscles, some of which I didn't even know I had, and gouged a hole in my hand which is bloody

I *love* Handel and Zadok the Priest is cool :-) Not familiar with the others off the top of my head, though.

Missed the eclipse, cause I needed to sleep whilst I could, with noise bound to occur from my crappy neighbours (as indeed it did!).

I think Zadok is cool too :-)

I'd never heard of the Nelson Mass before this, either, but it's a really gorgeous choral piece. More chorus than soloists, actually, which is quite rare I think, but makes it very rewarding to sing.

I do feel the need to do Messiah again sometime soon, though. I used to do a scratch version every year or so, and I'm starting to have withdrawal symptoms. ..

Much to my chagrin, I have still yet to see a live performance of Messiah. It's one of my ambitions...

Ouch! What are you doing to yourself, girl?
The moon was very pretty when it turned coppery-red, don't you think? At least the sky was clear for once! I think I am developing webbed feet....

Ow. Am broken...

It was absolutely lovely. I actually had to explain to a 36 year old woman how an eclipse works today.

Sigh.

Remind me to tell you about 'little Sarah' who is around 18 and how I tried to explain to her what stereotypical meant....

Faure's Pavane is going to make me laugh from now on... *g*

Hope all your bits are feeling better - and glad the concert went so well ::beams::

Bits are better, thanks :-)
