h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Last Sunday I sang for the first time in a proper concert again since the pandemic. A very varied programme although almost entirely Mozart.

Te Deum, Alma Dei Creatoris and a Benedictus. And a Haydn Mass. The orchestra played a charming Mozart Divertimento and a Suite by Reger (who, apparently, did not only write organ music) in celebration of his birthday. Two of my favourite soloists from the local crop were involved and all four soloists' voices matched beautifully.

With some demanding fugues and rousing full choral sections well distributed amongst the works we were singing, it was a great feeling to have been part of it. The Church was full and the applause and the comments of the audience afterwards proved that this sort of thing is certainly needed.

I caught up on the Coronation footage afterwards.

With predictive text, it isn't half a hassle trying to type Latin. I had to re-write that second paragraph several times! I'll have to see if Latin is an option with this keyboard here on my tablet.

Sounds like a wonderful concert.

Have I spelt exhilarated wrong? Only just noticed.
