Hello, and thanks for visiting! A couple of months ago a good friend nominated me in one of those Facebook challenges you may have seen doing the rounds - 7 black and white photos over 7 days from your ordinary life, excluding people and pets, posted without explanation. I accepted the challenge, and enjoyed the process so much that I was soon wondering how I could extend it. This blog is my answer. The photos won't always be in black and white - I've long understood how important colour is to me - but I plan to adhere to the other rules of the challenge for a full 365 days and, in doing so, tell the story of the next year in my life. Knowing how I struggle with discipline, especially self-discipline, I imagine this process will throw up quite a few challenges for me but hopefully that will all be part of the growing and learning process. There will be little or no explanation posted, though I'll be happy to chat in the comments, and I hope you find something here to enjoy.
Music for a choir? you have my approval
ReplyDeleteHi there!
DeleteYes! A fairly large (about 100 strong) community choir, currently rehearsing Bach's St Matthew Passion for performance at Easter. Beautiful but hard - some of us, myself included, don't really even read music so 8 part harmonies are a bit of a challenge! Last night was good though, with some order starting to emerge from the chaos I think! Do you sing?
I love singing in church or round the house but that's all. For all of my growing up years we had a choir sing in church every week and in those days I thought it was boring but now that it's all "worship bands" I miss the choir
ReplyDeleteYes, church choirs are very special. Ours is not a faith based choir, but we do all our performances in churches and cathedrals, and most of our music is 'sacred music' old or new - it has a very particular feeling to it which I love.
