The Fauré Requiem is the first work of this genre I sang after joining the Port Elizabeth Oratorio Choir in 1974. This was an entirely thrilling experience for me, for the first time performing with a symphony orchestra, in the Feather Market Hall. In those days I was a soprano; now I'm firmly entrenched with the altos!
Hi Leta - I never knew you were a soprano! The secrets people have!
I've been the opposite to you - sung it loads of times as an alto, but only once (last year In St. Paul's) as a soprano.
Of course, my secret is that I'm not really a soprano. I'm just posing in the sop section. I'm really a tenor!
It will be a challenge to not come in on the alto entries! *augh!*
;-)
Mmm... started singing at school as a 1st sop - enjoying doing the descant line! Then as I got older - about 23 - the voice changed and I could do it no more :-P
So now I'm just a very boring and average 1st alto, but I still love singing!!!
