Second lines added.

This has been the day of the song meme. I don't know how that happened, but it's been a lot of fun. Even if I didn't always have time to play along.

On a mostly unrelated note, I recently learned something that makes me very happy: next Spring Quarter, my chorus is going to perform Mozart's Requiem. I have been singing in choruses since the eighth grade. I have never sung Mozart's Requiem. Learning the Mozart been high on my list of things to accomplish before I die for many, many years. Finally I will have the opportunity. Yay!

I am very happy for you. We have discussed this music before and last night I was listening to the Verdi and thought of you. The Mozart is so lovely and soaring, I envy you the opportunity to become a part of it.

Thanks. It's the Beyer completion rather than the Sussmayr, which is the version that most of us are familiar with. I don't know exactly what the differences are, but I am looking forward to finding out!

But of course. Not until April, though. :)

Congratulations. You are an accomplished singer then i take it?

"Accomplished" would be pushing it. :) I'm not soloist material or anything. But I can hold my own in a large chorus. Thanks!

Excellent, well i'm sure a solo is only a short step away. :-)
