Choir conceet today went pretty well.

Choir conceet today went pretty well. Despite the absolutely terrible choir score we had for one piece, that didn't mark the time signatures of measures in the places where the choir has a rest, so we had no idea how long those rests were! I suppose the publisher thought choir singers can't count anyway and rely on the conductor for any entrance. Boo. Plus: odd choices of cue notes, and unreadably small time signatures, just to make everything more fun to read.

Music by Helmut Barbe (Unknown to me composer but a very beautiful and cool piece), Vincente Lusitano (renaissance composer who should be more well known because gorgeous music!) and Alexander Gretchaninov (Russian composer, which caused some discussion among the choir beforehand).

Extra fun was that my husband was playing celesta in the Barbe , it's nice when we have a gig together.
