Humble pie. That's a good way to look at it. Last Sunday night I sang without the usual voice trained bass, section leader that I can follow. I sang without that safety net, so to speak and at times it was not pretty.
I think I may have been getting too big for my britches. This has brought me down a peg or two.
We were actually a quartet this last Sunday, one of each part, soprano, alto, tenor and bass. This is as few as I have ever seen in the choir. Some times it sounded good to me. But I may have the worst seat in the house to tell. We have no microphones and no monitors. So I have no way of really hearing the blend.
I will say that our leader, JF did look like he was trying not to cry some of the time. We made it through, nobody hurt.
"Low Sunday" is the name for the Sunday after Easter, at least in the Episcopal Church. Usually the Sunday after Easter is the lowest attended service of the year. Special music has been done all during Easter week. Singers and musicians have been working a lot. A lot of them plan to take a vacation right after Easter and they are not back for the next Sunday. So it is often the least attended Sunday for singers too.
