We have just started rehearsing Carmina Burana... I have a whole series of pretty challenging earworms!

Thank you... this made me turn off John Suchet and explore! There is a beautiful, if rather melancholic, simplicity about it.

If heaven exists... mine sounds like this...

Re-reading this thread has brought much joy... here is today's ear worm... the choir have been rehearsing Carmina Burana by Carl Orff.

What did you think of the concert? It is always unusual to rehearse for weeks and not perform, bit like being Elvis Manu I would guess? Friends in the choir were buzzing afterwards on social media, so hopefully you enjoyed it too?

Being a bass, I always have sympathy for instruments in the lower registers! This is quite jolly... but then Mozart could probably get a decent tune out of a drainpipe :)

Glad you enjoy our efforts. I joined in 2006 and it is right up there with the Albion in terms of bringing joy into my life :)

Yes indeed. Sadly I am away with family in Germany for that one :( Hope you enjoy the concert... it is a great piece of life-affirming music. :) Have you heard the CoLC before?

:blush: perhaps I won't mention we are currently singing a series of Haydn masses at the Cadogan Hall with the RPO?

it definitely is... and gets credited on IMDB. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0891002/

My musical highlight this year, among many, was seeing Steven Isserlis and András Schiff playing in the Beethoven-Haus Kammermusiksaal, Bonn. Performing 3 sonatas on Beethoven's own cello and fortepiano, in the music hall of the house where he was born... a simply extraordinary experience.
