Gilbert and Sullivan

So last night we went to the men and women's chorus concert and it was AMAZING and surprisingly short-just an hour and that's with each choir doing a set or two and singing a set together (shrug). Man it was sooooo good! My fav of the men's was this civil war song called reconciliation-they had a trumpet player playing a taps like tune off stage and it was sooooo gorgeous and just sad-reminded me of Glory (another amazing movie and made me want to listen to the soundtrack but i don't know if i have the music with me...) anywho, the women did a great italian duet that i can't remember the name of but charlotte church did a popular version of it with herself-so pretty. Then comes the best part!! so the night was a tribute to Gilbert and Sullivan- so that means pirates of penzance! there were others too from gondoliers which we totally sang when i was in the choir only this was a different version since both the guys and the girls sang it together-it was sooo fun tho, they had great choreography and did a great job. It put me in the mood to watch the movie so i showed cody a few clips from it-of course he was converted instantly 8) i'm tellin' ya, there's no other choice with this musical.
anywho, a great night and i gotta run cause i slept in after staying up and watching a episdoe of 24 with my roommies (totally addicted-makes me happy 8)
