Choir

Posted late for Saturday, December 5th

I know there have been a lot of posts about music, but that's how it's going to be. I'm a music major. :) That being said, though, this one shall be short.

Saturday was my first choir concert in a year and a half. It wasn't the same as they were in high school. It wasn't as fun, it wasn't nearly as joyful. However, the music was glorious. We sang Bach's Cantata 191 for Christmas and Dona Nobis Pacem, both from his B minor Mass, and Pärt's Magnificat.

It was so good to be a part of such an ensemble again. Even though I know my performance drops a little when I do this, I couldn't help but relax every once in a while during our songs and just listen to the music we were making. It was so beautiful, and it really didn't seem that hard. And before my choir was up, I got to sit in the band room and hang out with some of the girls in my ensemble. We giggled and chatted about music, both good and bad, future plans, and just girly stuff all around. It was simply fun and comfortable :)

I know I have high expectations for music and choir. I can't help not. But on Saturday night, I truly was thankful for my choir and the opportunity to be a part of something so high quality and fulfilling. On Saturday night, I was very thankful for my choir :)
