Ensemble Practice

For the past few Wed, we have been gathering at Mr Ong's home for our small group choir practice for the upcoming concert in KL.

Both of us have been arrowed to sing in 2 different ensemble. My group's singing the complicated version of 'Angels We Have Heard On High'. Sam's group is singing 'Christ was born on Christmas Day' in acapella. Both songs are composed by Alice Parker, not that I know who she is. The 'Angels' song is so complicated that if we lose count of the timing, we would have to struggle through the rest of the song and hopefully find our way back somehow. Fortunately there are 2 of us from each of the SATB section, and I have powerful alto P with me! Yeah!

It has been fun gathering with the folks despite the mad rush from work. Mr Ong would painstakingly prepare dinner for the 20 of us and boast of his culinary skills. He is a contractor by profession, the PCK type. :) Occasionally we would bring along some food/fruits to complement the dishes.

Well, we have recently decided that we are confident enough to sing those songs and will only have practices on Sun before the main choir practice. We have certainly enjoyed Mr Ong's hospitality, the time singing and getting to know one another.

I wonder if it would be possible to get the same kind of dedication and commitment from my peers ...
