Will soon be the Season...

Christmas starts early in choral societies. These things need lots of rehearsal time so can't be left to the last minute. This is the work for Tring Choral Society - Bach's Christmas Oratorio - the music is divine. I know it really well but... this will be the first time I will have sung it in English. So I know the notes and I know what the German words ought to be but I'm having to read the English!
Now I don't speak any German and have whinged about having to sing in that language (I learned how to say the words) but I take it all back. This is SOOO odd and I'd much rather be struggling with the language. I'll never moan about singing in German again.....well, I probably will!
