Requiem blah blah blaaaaaaah...

[candyland]

Choir concert went fairly well today, considering we really weren't ready to perform this major work. But I've grown to love John Rutter's Requiem. It is a beautiful piece, really. I especially love the second movement, "Out of the Deep," and the last one, "Lux Aeterna." The first time I listened to a professional recording of "Lux," I got really misty, and another friend of mine cried outright. It's a gorgeous piece. It's just...long. Forty minutes long.

Then I went to dinner with my parents. I get to go home Thursday afternoon for Thanksgiving. Wheeeee!! Sad part is that I'll probably spend a good chunk of my weekend doing homework. Blah! But if all goes well, I'll make time to go see Rent (the movie!!!) with my sister, and meet with msbbt and Rachie-chan to do lunch. And sleep in a bit, I'm all about sleeping in.

Much love,
~ Candy-chan ^.^

"Bye. Go home now. See ya downstairs for cookies!"

"Another concert where I didn't get a cookie!!"

Why is LJ not sending me alerts to when I get comments, I wonder? Hmmm...

I had so much fun with this one, like you wouldn't believe. I'm glad somebody got those jokes, 'cause the Hormone Fairy thing was probably my favorite part in the whole story. Thank you so much!!!

I sing alto, and I play the euphonium. Don't feel bad if you haven't heard of it--nobody has. It's low brass. I'm no Liberace, but I can plunk out a decent melody on the piano (current project: Bratja from Fullmetal Alchemist). And I must say that I play a pretty good kazoo... *grin*
