Welcome to LAAA LAAA week.
This week the Melbourne Chorale is singing in 3 performances of Walton's incidental music for the soundtrack of the film of Henry V, as part of an MSO Master Series concert.
The piece runs for just under an hour, during which we:
* sing words for about 5 mins
* sing laaaa laaaa laaas and aaah aaah aaahs for about 15 mins, and
* sit, trying to look glamorous (and not fall asleep) for about half an hour
All in all, it's been a hard week.. even though the Walton is not exactly rocket science (quite a contrast to the Rachmaninov Vespers which we are rehearsing for a concert in November), but we have had rehearsals on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights, with performances tonight (Thurs), Friday and Sat nights.
Tonight's performance was broadcast live on ABC Classic FM. (And it's one down, two to go :-)
I think by Sunday I will be ready for a cup of tea, a Bex and a good lie down.
