For those of you into classical choral music – Last semester’s choral excursions were so much fun we thought we’d do it again. One of our choir mates mentioned we would be singing a song this semester in Yiddish, and we were looking forward to the challenge. This semester we’re doing both Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms and John Rutter’s Requiem, both of which are relatively short, and will make a good concert, only a little over an hour long. Neither of these is in Yiddish, but the Bernstein is, in fact, in Hebrew. (I guess our friend thought Yiddish was close enough.)
We also have an opportunity to also join a professional group, the Dundin Consort to perform Handel’s Israel in Egypt but we probably won’t have time, as some of the rehearsals – and the performance – are two hours away in Edinburgh. (Boo!)
Still, the university’s rich musical offerings are keeping us busy and happy, and we are having a blast with it.
