I didn't realize how much I'd missed singing classical music until I joined this little neighborhood ensemble last fall. Alan took video of the first piece on our concert last Sunday, Poulenc's Ave Verum Corpus. Feel free to listen here. (It's only 2 min. 45 sec.)
It was one of my favorite pieces on the program--it's not easy (we didn't sing it perfectly), and it's a nice balance of "out there" and "accessible."
The concert was additionally meaningful because Mom was the accompanist (wish I had a video of one of our accompanied pieces), her friend Cindy played flute, and Jon and Courtney's friend, Anna, was our guest soloist and fellow working-mom-who-didn't-realize-how-much-she'd-missed-singing. That made for not only sweet music, but sweet fellowship. Very sweet fellowship.
