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.

^ If you go, just keep this song in the back of your mind. You'll understand why about 2/3 though. I was nearly out of my seat laughing, especially because none of the kids in the theater were getting the joke.

Here's some history on a favorite Thanksgiving song (scroll down for scans of the original published poem):

Over the River and Through the Wood - Original Version

On my command:
Unleash hell!

If you have an enemy with children, this may be the ultimate weapon.


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.

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.




Here is something people have wanted for a long time: the ability to easily process a commerical recording into separate vocal and instrumental stem tracks.

There's a lot of great examples of chord functions packed into this very clever short video. It goes by very fast, so you should pause and read the descriptions.
