Lacrymosa

The most difficult of our spring concert pieces, the students began piecing together the alto and soprano parts today. I was amazed at how well the student held on to their individual harmonies. This is the first year that these students have been asked to sing with harmony and Lacrymosa is a very challenging piece. I actually sang it my freshman year of highschool and I am asking the 6th graders to attempt it. It is quite a task and I am delighted to say that the 6th graders are rising to the challenge beautifully. It is only February and yet I am already positive that our spring concert is going to be one of the best.
