Good Friday singing with Perth Cathedral choir
Well it should have been good. It should have been a highlight.
- Exquisite feast of Lenten polyphony – Allegri miserere, Tallis Lamentations, Sheppard Media Vita.
- Excellent choir, a mix of pros and gifted amateurs and a talented new director of music.
- Beautiful building and an honour to participate in Holy Week worship in a foreign land.
But.
I sang like a git! (which isn’t as strong a word as I’d like to use but my parents read this) I mean really, really shamefully. No tone, no technique, cracking on every other note. My 13 year old self would have done better!
All a result of my aforementioned cough/sore throat, and quite a scare actually (what if I’ve done permanent damage?), enough to keep me away from the beer for a few more days I can tell you.
Thankfully I could redeem myself on Sunday morning (they’d already asked me before hearing my yodelling din!) and I’ll write more about the choir and cathedral then when I’m feeling a bit less grumpy about the whole thing.
Huff.
