Another Choir

I volunteered to conduct another choir.  I may be crazy.  But this group sounds like fun.  It's a volunteer group that are all employees of a nearby hospital.  It has not been a large group- 15 people this last year.  There are no real limitations on what I type of music I can conduct.  The group sings twice (well, four times).  Twice in December (one at the hospital, one at the senior center) and twice in May.

I pulled some music to look at it yesterday.  They have a music library, as at one point they were funded by an arts grant.  I am not so sure the choir is as well funded now.  I guess I will learn more as I get involved.

The rehearsals are once a week over people's lunch.  We won't begin for a few weeks yet, which is great- because I would not be ready to begin next week.  Okay, that's not true.  I COULD begin next week, but I really wouldn't want to.

I am not sure where all the time has gone.  I have no more open days.  The few hours I have open, I will spend studying (after, of course, this blog post).

The ELCA's 25th anniversary is coming up.  My choir is going to be one of the choirs singing at the synod worship.  I think I have selected our piece.  It's an arrangement of "Let All the World" by Daniel Kallman.  I'm really excited about this.
