The community choir part of the performance is the one that I mentioned to you that I aspired to join, but as I mentioned above (to Ginnie) I chose to wait until September this year :-) It was I thrill, the talent was outstanding.

Fine music comes at a price... Instruments have to be paid, teaching has to be paid for, the venue has to be paid for... For these events to take place the money has to come from somewhere... ;-) A rip off?

By the time I got to the party the rehearsals were well under way, with only a few weeks left before the concert. I know I would have been up to the challenge to catch up, but I didn't think it was fair to join at such a late stage in the rehearsals. So I elected to wait until September this year to start at the beginning with the next choral project. I bought tickets for Mr C and I to enjoy the concert rather than me take part in it :-) I came to this concert by hoping to join the community choir when I heard about it just before Christmas last year.

What a thrill. I have the requiem somewhere on an old tape. I only ever listen to fine music on 'You Tube'' these days, and then I saturate myself with multiple examples of any particular piece. But to sit in an 'old' place and listen to even a College orchestra and choir -real, enthusiastic folk - is a rare privilege. All I can say is ‘WOW !’. What a thrill.

Astrid and I have heard the Mozart Requiem in Amsterdam's Concert Hall, one of the best in the world. And believe it or not, back in the day, when Bill and I lived in Columbia, SC, I actually was a member of the Choral Society when it was sung. You never forget singing such magnificence!

My hair stood on end, just listening. Mozart Requiem was all the more powerful because of both the atmosphere of the chapel and because it was performed by the combined choirs and orchestra.
