Repertoire
Well, as some of you know, I am performing for the first time with the two non-school choirs I am in. Some of the music is...well, not bad, but it's rather "churchy" and there is one song that I hate. Hate with a firey passion that consumes my soul. Anyway, here it is, so that you can know what awaits you. Those of you who are coming.
Now, this is not necessarily the order that they will be in, this is just how I have it written down.
1. Harmonika-this song is crazy! During the last rehearsal Ms Strome said "take out Harmonika, everyone!" and I had no idea what she was talking about, and to keep a long story short, I learned an incredibly complex Hebrew song in about thirty seconds.
2. Antonio-This song is cute, and happy, and easy to sing. Thank God.
3. Jubilate Deo-"Yes, this fucking hard Latin song will be fun to sing!" At least that is what I keep telling myself. It has a nice tune though, I like it a lot, it's just really really REALLY hard.
4. UBERLEBENSGROB-That is the title of the song, I kid you not. In capitals and everything. I hate it. So much. It isn't so much a song as a series of noises. Bleagh...
5. Frobisher Bay-We may end up not singing this one, but I really hope we do because it is beautiful. Absolutely heart-breakingly beautiful. If people don't get to hear to Sunday night, I hope they can hear it another time. If it doesn't make you feel sad, then you have no heart. It makes me want to cry everytime we sing it.
6. Ain-a That Good News-a spiritual song, aka "slave music". It's that gospel stuff from the deep south that, even though it's all religiousy, it's fun to sing and to listen to. I dunno. I like it.
7. All Too Soon-I. Love. This. Song. It's amazing. And when you hear it and UBERLEBENSGROB you wouldn't believe it's by the same composer, but it is. It's about how quickly time goes, and the Martimes, and their struggle, and their endurance, and it is just awesome.
Well, I hope you will all enjoy it.
Happy Halloween, by the way. Lady Leopard will now rest for another year. Muahahaha! So much fucking candy!
And now, it's time for the
Musical Quote of the Day
"When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you"
-Coldplay Title: Fix You
