10:14p - Oratorio
Went to Gary's performance today. Another of those musical premieres here in Marengo, a new composition by Tom Reed. Musically it was quite nice. But...
Oratorios are long. His previous works have been cantatas. This was three hours long. And it's called Holy Week so it starts with the moneylenders in the Temple and goes up to the crucifixion. That's where it ends. Talk about a three hour downer. The music was nice, but my butt's still asleep from sitting for so long. There was a string quartet as well as the organ to accompany the choir and soloists. The instrumental parts for the strings were lovely. I think Mr. Reed should write some string quartets and give up on the depressing religious stuff. ;p
current mood:  tired (comment on this)
