Snobbery

[nightsashke]

Ok...

I forgot just how much of a vocal performance snob I actually am... Maybe grubbybastard can help me out with this...or at least provide a shoulder to cry on...

zibacco posted a vid of For Unto Us a Child is Born and it made me realize that I hadn't listened to Messiah in awhile. So, I start looking around on youtube for pieces in their entirety...or...parts

Stylization makes me weary. Especially when people try to do it with classical music, yuuuuuuuuck.

The Messiah is close to my heart... my junior year in high school, my choir sang pieces from it (and won the state competition). I've picked apart to death every rendition I've heard since... :) If I find someone who still has a recording of our performance, I'll happily upload and send it to you, but I'm old and it was a long time ago.

And now the "For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth" line from the Hallelujah Chorus is stuck in my head. F.
