In aeternum

[schneefink]

I had a busy weekend, including two seven-hour car rides to get to my grandpa's 80th birthday party and then back again, but grandpa was very happy we were there so it was worth it, and it was a nice party. And then I came back home, had fifteen minutes to put down my stuff, and then went to choir practice before the concert in the evening.

The concert was beautiful. I'm still smiling thinking about it. Several pieces, all built around Mozart's Requiem, and it was so great to sing. A choir of eighty people, the energy was amazing. After the concert I was practically jumping up and down I was so euphoric.

My family was there, all of whom have already sung or played the Requiem several times, and they said we sung it very well :) And four friends of mine came, three of whom hadn't heard the piece at all before, and they all loved it.

It was so much fun. I love singing in a choir, and especially in concerts like this. I'm going to remember this one for a while.
(Bonus, there'll even be a CD.)

It did, and it was :)

Wow, those car rides in quick succession don't sound like any fun! I'm glad your grandpa made it worthwhile. The concert sounds so beautiful.

Fortunately I managed to sleep for most of the drives; generally I really prefer trains, I can read there.

It was :) One of the other pieces we sung was A Prayer, I liked that one a lot too.
