Carmina Burrana from the POV of the Timpani.

[zzzak]

At its largest, Carmina employs a chorus of 200 or more voices, an orchestra of 100 players and a children's choir of 50 or more, plus three soloists (soprano, tenor and baritone).

When I was younger I sang with the Plymouth Philharmonic Chorus for a season.  That season they were presenting Carmina Burana, I remember those practices fondly, they were a 160 strong choir and to be amongst that on full song was something very special.  I only lasted one season as I didn't really fit in with the social side of things.    I wasn't really posh enough, loving the music was not enough to be accepted in those circles, which was a pity, hellofva choir though.

My missus was in a choir a good few years ago, but she left after a while because of all the snobbery and politics! It was a shame because she really enjoyed singing in the choir.

This is the choir my son (Paolo) sings in , the Gurt Lush Choir.  In this clip he is about 4th on the right from the conductor (in skeleton suit), he is wearing a black shirt and red tie

I have been in several choirs over the years, hot bed of squabbling and fall out, more so in mixed choirs.  I have zero tolerance for that sort of thing so don't hang around if I get grief, I am quite prone to a flounce .  The posher the choir the worst in my experience.   I have been a member of Mevagissey Male Choir for the longest and still am.   I am a soloist with them as well as one of the stronger basses.    I have been in several groups that have broken up for various reasons, not always bitching.  Its a fantastic hobby and very good for your mental health.   I have been many places on tour.   I just love singing and always will but don't worry I wont bother any of you with it

No problem in Gurt Lush, there's no posh fuckers amongst that lot.  Proper Bristolians hence,  the name of the choir

Post some vids up Saul, if you have any. I love some vocal harmonies even if I don't know the tune.
