musical ramblings...

I'm putting most of this behind a cut so you don't have to be exposed to quite so much of my musical frustration rambling...

Suffice it to say, rehearsal last night was...interesting.

( First, the seating chart was completely rearranged... )

It's funny - I've sung a lot of masses, but I've never sung the Creed in Latin before. I get used to just doing the Kyrie, Gloria, Gospel Acclamation, etc. Of course, the English "translation" in our edition is not the Creed in any way...it's some random religious prayer. Which is weird. I wonder what they'll have for the supertitles -- the actual translation, or the English in the book?

PLUS, we're singing the Haydn in Germanic Latin and the Willcocks in Roman Latin. JUST BECAUSE IT ISN'T CONFUSING ENOUGH.

Sigh. The trials and tribulations of a chorister.

another epic dream from last night

And I didn't take any DayQuil this time, really!

It's all fading really fast, but all I remember is I was stranded somewhere on a Lost-ish desert island with a group of people, and we had to make shelter from trees and build a village and things, and then somehow I was transported across the island and there were Others with an actual city that I just realized my subconscious pulled straight from the City of Ember movie we watched on Sunday. But mean people lived there. And dogs were chasing me and I had to get back to my village and then all of a sudden some hero-type is with me (seriously, it was like Dennis Quaid in a policeman's uniform being rugged and serious and HEROIC) helping me get back to my village of people.

And then we found this abandoned building with mysterious THINGS in it. And I kid you not, I think it was a burnt-out, abandoned Good Guys or Circuit City with a wall of TVs, and OMG ONE OF THEM WAS WORKING. So someone had power and/or was siphoning power for their own personal use (it got fuzzy after that). There was a Big Bad of some kind, and I may or may not have triumphed over them with the help of Hero!Dennis Quaid.

And then I somehow managed to make it back and Hero!Dennis Quaid made a big speech about sacrifice and family and honor and duty and something. Fin.

Good job, brain.
