I forgot how utterly amazing the musical "Secret Garden" is. I would LOVE to see that show live. I saw it when it was done at Luther, but I'd love to see it again. I always cry when I listen to the soundtrack from start to finish. Of course I love "Lily's Eyes", but there are SO many great songs.
Today was a very, very full day. Tomorrow will be the same. It was good, and productive. I even allowed myself two bowls of cereal as a reward.
We had a big rehearsal tonight. We ran through Belshazzar's Feast with the orchestral director. He is taking it at a very quick tempo. Yes yes, I know William Walton SAID he wanted it to go 208... but it sounds like the choir is hiccuping. It shows off the bombasticness of the orchestra, but destroys any shreds of musicality. I have heard one recording that is going close to that tempo... otherwise most are between 170 and 190. It makes a HUGE difference. I prefer it around 180.
Off to continue listening to the Secret Garden.
