Such Memories

Nights like these, cool and crisp, remind me of home. The moon is so bright and the air feels almost alive. I can imagine what the ocean looks like right now, with the moon hanging above. I am a little homesick when I feel like this and I feel nights like these. What a beautiful night.
My new picture is one I took during my freshman or sophomore year in college. It is right downtown Southport. A great place to read. You wouldn't go swimming there clearly, but I can see the ferry going by. I think is a nice picture.
This weekend coming up means that I will be singing the Tenor solos in Mozart's Requiem. I am starting to become really confident in them. Their are such beautiful movements within the piece. By singing the solos I have learned so much more that I ever have singing classical pieces in the past 2 or 3 years. The lines of the music, the phrasing, the harmonies and so much more make this work brilliant. It is really a beautiful piece. My heart still lies in musical theatre, but classical music has opened so many facets of musical theatre for me. Because of classical training, I sing better and healthier. I sing smarter. I am constantly awed by classical pieces. I think it is something that should always stay with any musician. It offers so much as a genre, no one should ignore it. Classical music is for everyone.
Anyway I also have quite the dirty room and it needs to be cleaned. I also have parents coming in for this weekend. That should be fun. I also have a paper to write, but I will put that off until tomorrow night, because tonight is to beautiful and I need a respite.
While I am hanging out here is a video of the first movement the soloist sing. It is called Tuba Mirum. It is not the best recording, but it isn't bad. Enjoy!
