Biggest time of the year for me. . .inclusive of Christmas. Easter is the longest and most difficult season to sing. Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil, Easter Sunday - music, music, music. Throw in a random 2 performances of St. Matthew Passion and you get a rather packed 2 weeks.
Added to that is the clogged ears as a happy by-product of a sinus infection and you have the potential for one frustrated chorister. Fortunately, my voice works. I just feel like I sound like I'm singing in a pillow. Not able to suck enough air to sustain long phrases but am adapting. I went to the doc on Friday and ended up on Augmentin. I'm hoping it kicks in before Wednesday.
In addition, I am starting to exercise this week regularly again. I slacked off - big time and now need to get back into it regularly - daily. So, many new challenges to take on.
I have adjusted to the addition of a new church choir member. . but am still leary of that person's addition to our fold. High maintenance doesn't begin to start the description. However, knowing that we are all high maintenance at times helps and that I have very clear boundaries.
So, I'll keep you posted about Easter.
