We attended the spring concert for the choral department of the local high school. Granddaughter number two, is a member. I might add that she was the prettiest and best soprano there - just my opinion.
I’m not sure what the director is thinking when he picks out the songs, but they were all something that you don’t hear on the local country music radio station. Ave Verun Corpus by Mozart, Bist Du Bei Mir by J. S. Bach, Gia sole dal Gange by Scarlatti are just a few of the selections. Of course everyone applauded at the end of each song, but I’m not sure anyone understood a word. The director did say that the first song he assigned when he came, a short time ago, was in Latin. There are not a lot of folks in East Texas that speak Latin.
While many may have been somewhat disappointed that none of the songs said anything about momma, trucks or getting drunk, a fun time was had by all.
Did I mention that granddaughter was the prettiest and best soprano.
