Actually, that was for the bassoonist if and when he figures out his instrument is stopped up.

I still think with this many wonderfully gifted people we should make an Entmoot Anthem.
Any suggestions?

*sits with a cup of tea* Whoo.
So apparently the choir master wants me to do a solo, although I told him I wasn't expecting one since I'd turned it down previously on the grounds that I -was- planning to be out of town... but now I'm staying. So when we thought I was going to be gone, he tried to give it to another guy, but this guy doesn't really seem to want it, and refused to sing it at the practice. But the choir master really wants him to do it. So I'm under orders to be ready to maybe sing one solo, and potentially sing two. But no promise of either. Oh dear . It's not a big deal though. The solos are like... 8 seconds long each, maybe . And I wasn't expecting to get either since I'd already turned them down. We'll see. |

I LOVE talking about singing . Honestly, given the chance, I'll talk about it all day . Hence why I've tried to find some non-musician friends to hang out with lately . But I still love it . You know who we need? We need Lief's sister. She and I started voice lessons at about the same time, and she's just a fantastic soprano . Developing coloratura as I recall, with a lovely top range and a pretty decent upper extension. She made huuuuuuuge strides once she started lessons--it was quite a dramatic improvement . Oh man, we need a thread for discussing voice, and we need to get Lief's sister over here . |

By "developing coloratura", do you mean SHE's a developing coloratura, or her coloratura technique is developing?[/QUOTE]

But the congregation will really appreciate his talents when he sings hymns, psalms and prayers. I, for one, definitely appreciate quality music at a church service.

Do you hear him sing specifically then? When our dominee sings, he doesn't have the mike on, so he sings along with the rest of the church.

When I went out to walk the dog just now, they were having fireworks at the carnival (which is nearby) so I could watch it from a first rank place! Woohoo! *loves fireworks*
*is happy and starts randomly (but in a safe way) lighting fireworks* Enjoy it with me! Yay!

I don't know of many hymns that allow one to show off a three octave range.

Too hyper to go to bed, perhaps?
(It's past midnight here as well - we're in the same time zone, aren't we?)

*Grabs Mari up in a dance and cues the music*
"Devil's Dance Floor" Her breath began to speak As she stood right in front of me The colour of her eyes Were the colour of insanity Crushed beneath her wave Like a ship, I could not reach her shore We're all just dancers on the Devil's Dance Floor Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, a little more next to me Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor Pressed against her face I could feel her insecurity Her mother'd been a drunk And her father was obscurity But nothin' ever came From a life that was a simple one So pull yourself together girl And have a little fun Well she took me by the hand I could see she was a fiery one Her legs ran all the way Up to heaven and past Avalon Tell me somethin' girl, what it is you have in store She said come with me now On the Devil's Dance Floor Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, a little more next to me Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, a little more next to me Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor The apple now is sweet Oh much sweeter than it ought to be Another little bite I don't think there is much hope for me The sweat beneath her brow Travels all the way An' headin' south This bleedin' heart's cryin' Cause there's no way out Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, a little more next to me Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, a little more next to me Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor
