Concert 8 of 8 COMPETE. Tonight was two abbreviated programs an hour apart, double-seating in a small but very beautiful venue.

I am spent. Done. Only thing left this week is leading an all-school sing along with several hundred of my closest little friends.

Drinking a high ABV brew, and then off to bed.

I miss teaching #musictheory so my students would appreciate this.

Concert time yet again. (Number 6 of 8 tonight)

I hate wearing a tuxedo. Especially the damn cummerbund.

My fellow pianists here will appreciate this. On my second accompanist gig of the week, and fortunately nothing on this list applies.

This, IMHO, is what every local choir _should_ perform every Christmas season, instead of the out-of-place Hallelujah Chorus.

I performed this on my first choir concert as a college freshman, and I have loved it since then.

Stop what you're doing, and listen to this. If you aren't emotionally moved by the time you're 3 minutes in, then you are made of stone.

This is a choir I will be following closely.

People who have performed the Handel Messiah will appreciate this.

I am convinced that most modern Christmas arrangements for orchestra and chorus are written by people who don't give a flying F about the chorus parts. The high tessituras are almost as painful as the horrible counterpoint.

This is still one of the most satisfying pieces I've ever played, as much as it kicked my ass to learn it. Please read the description for details.
