Musical news: this coming week is the Brahms Requiem with the Houston Symphony and Chorus, including yours truly.  It took a while for me to really get into the work, but now I love it.  The whole thing.  Especially movements II, III, and VI.  But the whole thing overall, really.

Also, I got into the Houston Bach Society Choir for the St. John Passion performance.  Either I rule as a singer or they were really desperate for tenors, or both, because I'll be joining them with only four rehearsals left before performance time.  They rehearse on the same night as Symphony chorus so until Brahms was done I couldn't join them.  I'm really looking forward to it, though,  The Johannes-passion is awesome.

The title of this diary has a double meaning, I hope.  See my recent holiary.
