We sang a LOT this weekend.  =)

David and I were 2 of a Kantorei group that sang a Sacred Harp tune called “Sweet Prospect.”  It’s a really neat period piece that uses the lyrics from “On Jordan’s Stormy Banks.”  It’s also a highly-placed (for an alto) straight-tone song.  By the time we’d warmed up by singing through it, warmed up by singing it again (because one of the group came in late), then sang a choir song during the sunrise service, *then* sang the Kantorei piece, my voice was scratchy.

Then, David and I sang a recitative and duet, then the Hallelujah chorus, from the Messiah in the regular Easter Sunday service.   It went well, but my voice is tired still today.
