there's just no way this won't be a boring post.

because i did boring things today.  things i'm glad i did, but they would be interesting to no one else.  and then i went off to rehearsal.  which was not as bad as it has been.  there was no mockery, no rude comments.  or no really rude comments anyway.  the only things i noted for later mention were -

- there was a substitute accompanist tonight and his score was apparently a little screwy.  i don't know if that's the reason, but when he was playing the shire theme as a cue in the first movement, he had a little f natural problem.  he played it half in d minor and half in major (as it should be).  it was the wonkiest sounding thing i've heard in quite a while.

- i spoke up when there was question about how to pronounce something.  as the only one who had the actual elvish text, i was the only one who would know.  i believe i am now outed as an utter geek.

- most of the music is pretty easy to sing, note-wise.  but there are a few places with funky intervals like descending minor 9ths.  howard, that's harsh, man.  harsh.

- we sang movement 5 tonight - which has the first half of rotk music.  including the faramir music - the text of which is
You must understand.
He does the duty of two sons now.
For himself; and for the one
who will not return.

and i had many thoughts of wah. 

- we also sang the anduril music.  which was all inspiring and such.  yes. 

god, i just can't wait to do this with the orchestra. 

i am not going to come up with clever things to say as i am really quite tired.  i will give in now and go to sleep.

That's fabulous that your group is singing LOTR music and that you were geeky enough to know the real Elvish pronunciation! Good luck with the rest of it.
