Choral Rehearsal

It's perhaps not surprising that today is much colder than yesterday - after all it's the last day of February despite signs of plants flowering and birds singing.

Went to a choral rehearsal this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. There is something really beautiful about singing in a choir and hearing the other voices around you, providing the harmonies. This particular mixed mixed voice choir specialises in early music (around 15th and 16th century) although some of the songs we sing are more modern and in the Victorian period. The really good thing about this period is that there is a good alto line. A lot of contemporary music frequently gives the best lines to the sopranos while the other parts just do the harmonies.

And singing is good for your health! It's really motivating to do something you enjoy and know that it's good for your health.
