choral music, fo's, and a meme

This is how those of us who have no swift/ball winder make center pull balls of yarn.



Here's a close-up of that yarny goodness. Luscious, no? It's Lisa Souza, colorway "wild things." Darker and lusher in person. Ooooo, I love it.

CHORAL MUSIC

Check out this guy's face. My personal theory is that he reaaaally didn't like sopranos. Another plausible theory is that he was a deaf instrumentalist writing choral music. Whatever the reason, his Missa Solemnis is, and I feel quite strongly about this, NOT MEANT TO BE SUNG BY HUMANS. LOUD soft LOUD soft. HIGH low HIGH low. This is simply not rational human behavior.

This guy, on the other hand, makes me feel like a bird in flight, particularly in the two lovely lovely pieces we're preparing for my church choir: He that is down need fear no fall, and a setting of the 23rd psalm from Pilgrim's Progress. The only conclusion I can draw from comparing these two faces and their respective works' singability is.......... that it's not about the eyebrows.

I love this:
