credo, credo

We had our first rehearsal with orchestra tonight, both parish choirs, and both parish choristers. After weeks of rehearsals, it's finally coming together. We're performing Mozart's Mass in C minor.

One more big rehearsal on Saturday, and then performance on Sunday.

These yearly joint efforts between the two parish choirs is an interesting comparison in two groups of people who do pretty much the same kinds of music, and yet personalities are somewhat different.

At least, after years of doing this, we are starting to warm to each other as individuals. And the choirs, when we sing together, is becoming the choir. Nice to lose the parish distinction when we're making music together.
