Beethoven Concert...It's Coming!

We're Putting On A Concert!

I just returned from a rehearsal and I am tired. It didn't help that I was tired before I went and sang over 2 hours of Beethoven. Beethoven's not the toughest composer on tenors, but he has his moments.

We're singing two songs, Beethoven's 9th Symphony and Beethoven's Gloria. I've sung the 9th before, but the Gloria is tough. I thought I'd include the text of the Gloria, both the Latin and the English. It's going to be fun! The concert is Saturday, March 17 (wear green!) at the U of U. If you're not doing anything else, drop on by!
