Also, earworms proved very handy when I went on stage and realized I forgot my close-up vision glasses. Without which I can't read notes. But with the song rotating in your brain 24 hours a day, who needs notes! 3/3

Among those anonymous pieces are Alle Psalite and Stella Splendens, which are in my Top 10 of early music greatest hits, and which I never thought I'd have an opportunity to sing on stage! 2/3

I found out today - at the dress rehearsal - that our choir leadership has decided to eliminate the co-occurring F and F# ! Now both sopranos and altos will sing it as F.

This contest takes place three times a year, and the last time I won a prize was two years ago, when I came in second. At that time there were 40 submissions.
The contest has shrunk in popularity, and the organizers are thinking of discontinuing it. I guess I snuck in just under the wire. 2/2

Now I'm also wondering which category 'Idumea' falls in. 2/2

I don't want to make their job harder, and I don't want to *be* in a specific session, only to be notified in advance which session I will be in, and ideally also how far down the list.
So basically I don't have a scheduling preference, I only want to be notified in advance.

Thank you, though unfortunately the full article is behind the paywall.

Ah, hmm. I didn't know that.

For example, if my leading slot is after the break, I would like to know that so I could enjoy the first session without having to worry about it.

Oh well, wishful thinking. 2/2

And what do you know? I only saw one billboard, and it contained a relatively mild message "Real Christians obey the teachings of Jesus." Where is the apocalyptic zeal of the billboards of yore? How am I supposed to get in the mood for a singing now? 3/3

I used to roll my eyes at them. But today, driving to a Sacred Harp singing, I was kind of looking forward to seeing them. Yeah! Get me in the mood, baby! 2/3

(Just cataloguing worst-case scenarios in my head, as one does, and making sure to cover all the if-then-else branches.) 2/2
