This semester I greatly improved my singing ability. It not only helped me present in other concerts, but also helped develop my lungs to play on instruments. It is vital for me to have developed lungs because I am playing advanced books on my clarinet, and there are giant slurs there. Those slurs are very hard to do, unless you have enough air.
My favorite song this semester was Et in Terra Pax. Antonio Vivaldi wrote this song a very long time ago, and it is a very beautifully arranged church song. It has three voices to it and when combined, it mesmerizes me by its awesome melody. I am very disappointed that we didn’t get to finish it completely. We stopped in the long hold-your-breath part. However if we sang it fully, the end sounds the best, I think.
I also really liked how well tempered Mrs. Hursh is. Not once has she kicked anyone out of class for bad behavior, where in her place I would have long ago had ¼ of my class out the door.
This semester was generally really fun, and I would have liked to stay in chorus for the rest of the year if I didn’t like technology explorations better. I liked how I got to stay in the same room for two periods, because I always was first in class. And also I could earn block E points by straightening chairs in chorus between 6th and 7th periods.
I would also like to give special thanks to Ms Spector for helping with all the accompaniments: Thank you Ms Spector.
