Summer concert

I took a break from my weekly Sunday posts last week to see if I got any more comments to my post about Blogland, but suffice to say, nine comments was the sum total (a big thank you to those who did), so back to my weekly post again.

Our recent summer choir concert was a huge success. We'd been building up to it since New Year.  The overall theme of the concert was Earth, Water, Air and Fire, so the songs reflected that theme. Our choir  leader always  chooses challenging pieces and this year was no exception. She chose the 20-minute long medley from Hunchback of Notre Dame as our piece for the second half - lots of Latin, jaunty songs and sad ones all in a mix - all learned off by heart - very challenging at my age! I have tried to include a video of it but am being told the video is too long to insert. So you will have to make do with a photo instead. We had to wear clothes that reflected the colour of earth, water, air and fire - so blues, greens, oranges and beiges - as usually we are in a uniform colour, most often black.

We received the news a few days after, that our choir mistress is stepping down for a year as as she has too many commitments at the moment and needs some time to refresh. She has acquired a temporary replacement for the next year, so that begs the question whether our repertoires will change in some way to be less challenging. Time will tell.
