All Things Anne

Tonight’s the first Messiah sing-along rehearsal for this year! This time, Joe’s going to sing as well! Finally we convinced one of them guys to join us! Beth and Kate sing soprano, Em, Tess, and I sing alto. Joe sings tenor, most likely. I can sing tenor, too. For instance, my favorite recitative is the tenor’s first, “Comfort Ye” and “Ev’ry Valley”. The tenor they bring in to solo in the performance is from Utah, and he’s really good (I haven’t heard a tremendous amount of opera but from what I have heard, he’s very good!).

Well, I like going around the house singing “Comfort Ye” and “Ev’ry Valley”, because I think it’s a fun one to sing. At last year’s final practice (there’s only two! The soloists and orchestra accompany the last practice though), when the tenor did his solo, Tess leaned over and said to me “He sounds just like you!” (That was meant to be a compliment, by the way!)

Last year, like this year, the performance falls on Beth’s birthday! (The 9th, by the way…be sure to wish her a happy birthday then! ;) )

Well, I can’t seem to collect my thoughts very well, so I guess this will be all for now!
