The concert went well...I did a duet of Porpora's Magnificat, which went very well, and my Chorale basically kicked some choral ass. We're lucky that Harrisonburg is chock full of fantastic churches, and that they're more than willing to let us use their spaces. The acoustic at the Baptist church we usually use is incredible, which made for a ROUSING rendition of "Elijah Rock."
We also performed a version of "The King of Love" that was arranged for Gerald Ford's funeral this past January. The arranger, Michael McCarthy, is a good friend of the director of choral activities at JMU, and sent us the manuscript for the piece. I'm 99% positive that this was the first performance of the piece since the funeral, which is pretty special. It's a beautiful arrangement of a gorgeous hymn.
Oh 9am technology classes, how I loathe thee.
