If I were a Dead Russian Composer, I would be Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
Considered the leader of the 19th Century Composer group "The Mighty Handful," I am indeed the teacher among them. My orchestration skills are superbly colorful, and are explained in my book on the topic, but works like "Scheherezade" explain my mastery better.
I'm going to have to sing. Uh-oh... *swallows her gum* Who's ready for the holiday choir concert? Not me!
Now... let's see... "Iiiiiiiin the bleak mid wiiiiiiiiinter...." Right, I know that one. Moving on.
"Si-i-lent night and o ho-oly night.... heavenly peace... sleeeeeep heavenly niiiiiight...." Ok we're good...
"HARK howthebells SWEET silverbells ALL seemtosay THROW carseaway" Take fast breaths and never stop... check...
"O holy niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight the stars are briiiiiiiiiightly shiiiiiiii-iiii-ning" Yup, yup, yup.
Add finally "HALLELUIAH! HALLELUIAH!" Yes, I do know that song. ^____^
Oh... and I get to hear "DEo DEo DEo!" Alright! It's going to be me and Jessie sitting there making fun of them so awfully much... Especially on "Soulful Celebration". Oh, you guys are going down, yo!
Mwahahaha... whoever said anything about choir being dignified was wrong, wrong, wrong!
If you want to be my bestest friend ever, you could always find me a copy of "Deo Gloria" by... Bacon (don't go asking me which Bacon, because it just says 'Bacon' in the program).
That's the "DEo DEo DEo" song that Choralworks sang... I can't find it anywhere. Sad...
