Music Styles

I came across this little gem on musical styles which amused me and thought I would share it.

JAZZ
Five men on the same stage all playing different tunes.

BLUES
Played exclusively by people who woke up this morning.

WORLD MUSIC
Dozen different types of percussion all going at once.

OPERA
People singing when they should be talking.

RAP
People talking when they should be singing.

CLASSICAL
Discover the other 45 minutes they left out of the TV ad.

FOLK
Endless songs about shipwrecks in the 19th century.

BIG BAND
20 men who take it in turns to stand up plus a drummer.

Approximately half of our choir members are off to Alexandra this coming weekend for our combined concert with choirs from Dunedin and Central Otago. We're looking forward to it and hope there will be a good audience. If you're in the area, the concert is at 2pm in the Terrace Primary School Hall.

Central Otago Concert

15/5/2011

Although rehearsals haven't started yet, we already have some of the music for the Central Otago concert. One of the items is 'Maria' by former choir member Juliet Woller, now resident in Australia, which is a setting of the Ave Maria text.

Preparing for a concert in Spring is always harder than at other times of the year due to inclement weather (it's hard to leave a warm house in the evening when it's cold and rainy outside) and because there are naturally more coughs, colds and other nasties around. However perserverance pays off and the extra effort is always worthwhile.
