carmina burana

well la jolla symphonic chorus was a little more mature than i had thought. there aren't many students there, even though i was told that there were more students in the chorus than in the symphony itself. well. not exactly affecting me in any way. and i kept my place in first sop, which is also nice. met section leader, took measurements for gown, got scores from librarian, streched, warm-ups, all felt right. like the choir life i was used to. it's a good choir. for the first time in many many months, i heard an overtone, during warm-ups in unison. that took me by pleasant surprise. singing carmina burana was very exciting, much more than listening to it on cd. as usual. another song that the choir was singing, the rio grande, was so damn hard, with chromatics and all everywhere. looks like i've got to work a great deal this quarter.
