I just returned from the Chorale concert at BJU. I attended this time with my mother after taking her out for pizza. Emily, alas, had to teach piano lessons and therefore she could not come.

The Chorale performed Haydn’s Missa de Agnustiis, more commonly known as the Lord Nelson Mass. As usual, the choir did a wonderful job. They sounded very full, supple, and alive. And the orchestra was very tight and expressive.

I sat in the front row on the aisle, so I once again had a beautiful, unobstructed view of everything. I love it in front. I feel like I’m the only one there and the playing and singing is just for me. At the end of the concerts, I always stand up and turn around and am almost surprised that there’s a huge crowd of people behind me. Were they here the whole time? Oops. I hope they didn’t see my head swaying back and forth during the “Kyrie”…

Ah. I’m going to miss these performances.
