This evening I had a great rehearsal with the tenors, a much needed supplementary rehearsal after all the other general rehearsals with all voice parts. And of course, I'm still learning the music. This evening, it was so much better. The tenors had a homogeneous sound and we felt much more together, working as a unit rather than several individuals trying to sustain the tenor part. My voice this evening was in much better condition than Monday. We honed in on all the difficult spots of the music and made adjustments as necessary with our directrice Annick Vert directing at the piano. This tenor section is truly a dream, and I'm loving every minute singing with them.
The rehearsal was the end of a wonderful day. Everything at school went smoothly without any problem. I enchanted the middle schoolers while singing Christmas carols and teaching them the words to "We wish you a merry Christmas." This afternoon, my high schoolers enjoyed talking about consumerism and materialism, remarking different aspects that pervade the entire world. Encouraging day.
More music on the way with the orchestra concert in the Mayenne basilica on Saturday. Such is the life of a musician at Christmas time. Happy Holidays!
