the Chorus has started work on his Mass in C Minor. I cannot get the rhythms and melodies of the first section out of my head! It is monumental & glorious.
But the conductor has decided we're to pronounce the Latin in the Austrian/German style of the 1700s...so all the familiar words...sung countless times thru the years for all of us...have to be relearned.
I'm not sure I get the point of this exercise...

Right. As if the audience will actually catch the difference?! ;-)
Conductors. They're madmen (or women)!

Coincidentally, I had a conversation with one of my piano students just this past week about how short his life was, and how much more of his music we would be enjoying if he had lived a longer life.......
