A few posts back I blogged about my old music teacher who has been made an OBE. Well, I mow have a new favouirite TV show. It is on BBC1 and is called Last Choir Standing and it is a bit like X-factor for choirs.
It was brilliant and there were so many different types of choirs, with such a variety of people involved in the groups. Harmony singing has always done something amazing to me. It excites me in a way very few other types of music do. It almost doesn't matter what stye of choral piece is being sung (although I often find very modern pieces quite irritating because they try to be so worthy if you know that I mean!), it is the harmonies that do it for me. The feeling you get when you hit your part right, and the fact that it blends beautifully with the other parts is awesome. Listening to it makes me almost as happy and there were a couple of moments in the TV show where the hairs on the back of my neck just stood up.
I was meant to be going to do a Scratch Messiah tomorrow, but something has come up so I can't make it. I miss singing in a choir so much, unfortunately I just don't think i can squeeze it into life at the moment. My life is definitely much poorer without it a nice bit of harmony singing here and there!!
