Less Soprano, please.

So this weekend, I joined my mother-in-law, and my two aunts-in-law and went to a Mother-Daughter luncheon at church. The hour before the luncheon, we were entertained by this vocal group (and I don't remember the name) which consisted of 3 women and 3 men. They sang several songs, songs from the 50s, some disco, some religious, some patriotic, but throughout them all, all I could think was how heavily weighted the group was by the soprano one (a reference to when I sang in college, referring to the topmost soprano part). Now, I realize that this is somewhat hypocritical of me, seeing as I was a soprano one in high school. But I kind of think that perhaps that teacher didn't really know how to "read" voices, because just a short summer later, I was singing in college choir and I was an alto one. But I will confess that I am far more comfortable as an alto than I ever was as a soprano. Who knew?

But what I really wanted to hear was the men's voices. When I was in college, the best part of the concerts was not our female choir part, but the men's choir part. I loved listening to them sing the UND school fight song. It never got old. Neither did the "Little Lamb" song. I can still see the big guy named Grant singing when I think of that song. It's funny what memories we have, isn't it?
