And now, I am a singer in the Diocesan Choir of the cathedral in Washington D.C.! Went to my first practice today. What a fine group of singers! The music is wonderful and I'm looking forward to the first concert in which I get to sing!
The humorous thing for me is that when I introduced myself to the choir director, who is amazing! she asked me to sing with the bass section rather than the tenors. I can do this, since my tenor voice has dropped down into the baritone range, and I was fine with the music since I can read music. 21 years in the BCC choirs I was in didn't hurt either, since there is some Slavic music and familiar composers in the folder I was given.
All in all, a wonderful Saturday morning and a real encouragement to me as a singer. I'm hoping this will also help my singing in the parish choir!
