Languages Redux

[kathrynt]

I keep updating this list becauseI keep adding languages to it. This is all the languages I've sung in. This iteration adds Ojibwe and takes the asterisk off of Zulu, as I have now done a piece where I actually had a straight up zulu *verse*. Including a word with a click in it

I love that both Quenya and Sindarin are on the list.

[kathrynt]

Mad props to Howard Shore.

Oh, and I missed Adunaic and Black Speech. Still need Khuzdul, though. :-)

[kathrynt]

The piece had Khuzdul in it, but it was for men's chorus.

Clearly you need to sing something like La Boheme in the original Klingon.

[johnpalmer]

Huh. Chekov told me that the Klingons stole it from the Russians.

[sistawendy]

Beat me to it.

[chaosdancer]

Have you ever been part of a complaint choir? Those look fun. :)

[johnpalmer]

Well, if it had been rap... oh, wait you said *Xhosa*, never mind.

(Do this right, and you walk away from someone frantically trying to find a language with a name similar enough to Xhosa to cause the confusion. No pun intended.)

*tilts head*

so it looks like you've been in a musical production of Lord of the Rings?

*curious*

Yep, in 2004 I did the LOTR Symphony with the Seattle Symphony, conducted by Howard Shore. It was pretty cool. I still have the score.
