Fellow choir singer here!!!

[noachoc]

Woo! I'm an alto, what're you?

[oracne]

Also alto! We do a lot of Bach (historic performance practice, so hardcore!) and some modern stuff as well.

[noachoc]

We don't actually do all that much Bach but, then, we're a church choir (are you a church choir?) and I don't get the impression he wrote a lot of just general anthems and motets. We do a ton of Palestrina, Victoria, Lotte and just general fancy Anglican music stuff, though less fancy now that our choir's been decimated (because of fear, not because of death) by Covid.

Yay altos!

[oracne]

I love Palestrina so very much! We'd probably be considered semi-professional? Mostly volunteers, but with professional soloists. Some of the volunteers in the past have been church organists, high school music teachers, etc.. but I am not one of those, I just did church choir and then college/grad school choirs. We have several lawyers, oddly. We've had two different conductors who also served as choirmaster for a really high Anglican church downtown ("bells and smells," I'm told), so I've done some of that repertoire, too.

We've been both rehearsing and performing masked, and we have a vaccination requirement. It's not ideal, but vastly better than not singing at all, imo. Unfortunately, our big New Year's Eve concert was cancelled because of the omicron surge. If all goes well, we're going to start Bach's Easter Oratorio on April 4.

[noachoc]

Palestrina basically sings itself. Ours is the same, with one or two paid section leaders and the rest volunteers (but since we've only got like three people to a voice part if we're lucky at the moment, that's still a good chunk of the choir paid. We've currently got two engineers (actually maybe three? I'm not sure), a science teacher, two music teachers, a college professor and a lawyer (and a paralegal, that's me). I don't think we have a vaccine requirement, but we're all currently doing everything masked, but we've only been back for a month or so.

And yeah, we're smells and bells Anglican.

I've grown to love Anglican church music, but my favorite is early music up through the Baroque. The first time I heard early music (in high school) I was "where have you been all my life?!"
