ysobelMusica Dei donum optimi / Music, the gift of the supreme God,
trahit homines, trahit deos; / draws men, draws gods;
Musica truces mollit animos / Music makes savage souls gentle
tristesque mentes erigit /and uplifts sad minds.
Musica vel ipsas arbores / Music moves the very trees
et horridas movet feras. / and wild beasts.
Concert is done.
...my resolve to fake-sing the first half to save myself for the second? Totally shot within two measures of the first piece. ;_;
(which is not what I quoted above, but.)
Apparently the siren call of music is too strong to resist, when it's music I've rehearsed this much and know so deeply. Especially after having forced myself not to sing in the last two rehearsals.
Also, my conductor is so totally fucking made of awesome; I would follow him anywhere omg, I swear. ♥
(the soloist wasn't bad either; countertenor with a very pure, very sweet, very mesmerising voice.)
