Messiah

December 6, 2005 at 2:06 AM

Messiah was yesterday. And, wow. I don't think I have ever been a part of something that big or exciting. Everything was simple amazing. To be on stage with that many people, playing something that beautiful isn't really discribable. There was one part, right before the end of the halleujah chorus, when everyone cut off together, I think it was then that I realised that this really was a quality production that I can be proud I was part of.

We played 1-21, 47, 48, and 41, all without an intermission which a way was really fun. I've never played for an hour and a half 'non-stop' before (we had about 5 seconds between movements (can you call them movements?) and a total of about 50 measures of rests (out of 25 pages)), it was kind exhusting, but so much fun and exhilarating (sp?)

(thoguh it really bugged me that someone 9in my section!) wore gray instead of black......................)

I have a neat picture from the concert that I'll try to post later...
