Boy, is tomorrow ever Monday...

Well, the chorale was great. They did a couple of commissioned songs (kinda weird, but still great), a version of the Twelve Days of Christmas that had each verse representing a different composer or a different musical period, going from Gregorian Chants to John Phillip Sousa. I have to say, my favorite verse was the one done in Wagner's style-—or rather, Ride of the Valkyries style. Hilarious. And now I want a Brunhilde hat.

They also did the Christmas portion of Handel's Messiah. And the Hallelujah Chorus. It sounded great. (Especially the bass soloist... in his bio in the program, it says that he sang Sarastro's part in Die Zauberflöte. One of the lowest bass notes ever written is in that part. He's good.)

Anyway, other thing that happened yesterday was that I went to see the new Pride and Prejudice with my church's youth group. It was a great movie, but I like the (five hour!) 1995 A&E made-for-TV version better. None of the characters really looked quite right in this one... especially Mr. Darcy. He looked better in the five-hour one.

And, since the moviemakers were trying to not make a loooooonnnnngggg movie (although the five-hour one is worth it), the transitions were very fast. I think I had jet lag for a few hours afterward.

Anway, I have to get sleep so I don't fall asleep in school tomorrow. (Assuming that it doesn't snow tonight and cancel school...)
