Ficquett Chorus had a great rehearsal today! We worked on two songs from Wicked, a song from Amistad, and a selection from Les Miserable. We also worked on Let There be Peace by Andy Beck. Then we put together my Orff arrangement of "Tue Tue" the African Yam Festival Song and we began to assemble our forces for Jim Solomon's "Listen to my Heart Beat" Next week I plan to add "Firefly" by Andy Beck and "Wind on the Hill" by Victoria Sabo. Hopefully we'll also have time for my Orff arrangement of "Hot Cross Buns."
This choir's work is a fine example of musical collaboration between students and teacher. This collaboration occurred in the ancient confines of the Ficquett Music Room. It is not the most beautiful place, but it is where the magic of music happens as we work together to prepare for our concerts and learn fundamental musical concepts.
After such an outstanding rehearsal, I had a great easy 5 mile run down one of my favorite routes. What a wonderful day it has been. It is a pleasure do do the things I love each day!
