i think you already told me that you have a friend who sings in a choir. what kind of music do they sing? classical, musical, gospel,... a bit of everything?

ooooooh, i'm just so looking forward to our concerts starting next friday until sunday the week after. I'll be singing Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Christmas Oratorio by Saint-Saens in the St. Stephens Cathedral (one of the famous landmarks from Vienna/Austria), south american christmas songs and a piece by my conductor (the first time it's going to be sung, ever!). I just love the programme!

And then I already know that I'll be singing the Carmina Burana, the Polovetsian Dances by Alex Borodin and maybe a Motett for 40 (!!!) voices by Thomas Tallis - Spem in Alium. And then there are some other things we might be doing but they aren't sure yet. Maybe something by Rheinberger or so. We'll see...

I just haven't been feeling so good in a long time! This music and singing with other people just fills my heart with warmth and light! - Which is pretty good when it's getting darker and colder outside

i told you indeed (now i remember, on skype, he). she sings in two choirs and they both do a bit of everything... even a bit of acting. they are very good as far as i could see.

i´m glad for you... i don´t know a single thing about choirs, but listen to them singing gives me the chills!

my friends told me that they´re burning in buenos aires... but it´s quite hot in here too (and people from mendoza told this is the driest spring they´re having in years... how lucky am i? my eyes can´t cry anymore because of the dryness... not really

).

but regarding your question (*cough*), mendoza is great and i´m having the best time in here... i know i have to come back to buenos aires in two months but i could live in here forever (after spending a year or so in ireland of course). thanks for asking

ooooh wanna introduce me?

Yetzirah · 11-28-2010, 04:58 PM

^

i just had choir practice and i had to sing up to the "a" on the second ledger line and it wasn't a problem for me at all - i was so perplex because i've never sang up that high. i'm not even a soprano but a mezzo - so i guess i'm getting better

it's just so motivating!

jasmineha · 11-28-2010, 06:39 PM

Currently having a little Damien unreleased marathon.. Oh, how I love some of these songs.

rachlanee · 11-29-2010, 06:13 PM

I absolutely despise Christmas shopping, and usually make presents for everyone. I had to go to Walgreens today and was being a total grinch about the lame Christmas music they were playing and then The Blower's Daughter came on as I was leaving.

eva_arg · 11-29-2010, 08:19 PM

U2 are playing in the city where I live in March. not only that, they're bringing Muse as their support band!! I love them, I saw them in 2008 and it was one of the best shows I've been to.

verenita · 11-29-2010, 08:55 PM

really? wow... ¡qué copados los tipos! i´m very glad for you.

eva_arg · 11-30-2010, 09:53 AM

thanks

the thing is there can't be any more huge shows at River's stadium unless everyone is sitting down (laaaaame).
Still surprises me a lot considering in July we'll host the Copa America and the opening ceremony and first game are here. not that I'm complaining about any of that

Livo · 11-30-2010, 10:44 AM

firstly i had a lovely night last night watching El Clásico - the buzz around barcelona after they walloped madrid 5-0 was incredible!

and secondly i'm in the library trying to study karl marx through spanish, and it's raining outside and it's frickin' freezing, but i found a random tiny heater in the library and it is currently warming me right up

edit: to make an already good day even better.. i just got an email from my university inviting me to apply for a college scholarship

Blaahhhhhhhh that would be an awesome gig

Yetzirah · 11-30-2010, 09:01 PM

congratulations, livi! that sounds brilliant!

srahman24 · 12-08-2010, 06:44 PM

Livo, good luck with the scholarship!

My shiny new iMac arrived in the mail yesterday and I'm a bit in love. Spent all day yesterday avoiding my upcoming tax-law-exam-of-death by playing around with it and getting everything set up (took me forever to transfer all my music!). Then christened it by playing O from start to finish (which I haven't done in a long, long time).

I don't know why I waited so long to get this thing!

verenita · 12-08-2010, 08:56 PM

^ congrat and enjoy

as for me: i had a way less work than i expected, which gave me an unusual relaxing day

overjoyed since last night (after some nerve wraking couple of hours) because we won the South American Cup (equivalent to your Europa League)

i knew you would post this, jejeje. my sister is happy too. congrats

but i couldn´t say "equivalent to your europa league" to be honest

eva_arg · 12-09-2010, 12:16 PM

oh no, of course not in terms of quality. I meant it as it's the second cup in importance of the continent. as local champions play the Libertadores (=~ UCL) and after it there's this cup.
still, thanks

verenita · 12-09-2010, 12:29 PM

i know what you meant, but i need to make the point clear, you know... "chicana futbolera", que le dicen, jejeje

eva_arg · 12-09-2010, 01:35 PM

ah no serás de la "cacademia" no?

what club do you support, vere?

).

eva_arg · 12-09-2010, 01:47 PM

oh good! my heart almost stopped a bit

good luck next weekend! I'm with you on this one. plus, one of my best friends is a Velez fan also
