Shock and awe, 18th-century style
Apr. 28th, 2006 07:24 pm"Thy strong right hand, with terror arm'd,
Shall thy obdurate foes dismay;
While others, by thy virtue charm'd,
Shall crowd to own thy righteous sway."
... Yeah, that'll work!
Handel's Saul. (Where the "Dead March" is from.) Keep having anachronistic thoughts like "Saul? Chill, dude." Seriously, the bloke's a nutter.
Lovely music. Should be fun. We read through all the choir bits last night, and for once at a first rehearsal it doesn't seem impossible. (That means even more stress and notebashing at later ones, probably, especially as we don't have very many this term.) Already getting earworms of bits of it, which is a good sign too.
Oh, I thought I'd have time to nip to the shop before going up to Little Venice, [1] but I think I've dithered too long. Drat.
[1] Which, as far as I can see on the map, consists of one (1) narrowboat-turning-circle place in a canal. How reminiscent of the Bridge of Sighs and St Mark's it actually is, I will find out later.
