we went to the public rehearsal of the choir on thursday night, and they were breathtakingly good. they sang "when the saints go marching in," which (i realized upon listening to it this time) includes the line "when the moon turns red with blood." of book of revelation - you are so creepy.
they also sang "you raise me up," of josh grobin fame, which was gorgeous (i thought of you, joey, as i do every time i hear this song!), and then they sang some churchy song that i didn't know.
though i didn't hear it this time around, when i came to this same rehearsal four years ago they sang "battle hymn of the republic," which was an experience i will never forget. it's worth a listen now because it's so beautiful. (this one's for nora, a fellow "battle hymn of the republic" lover!)
you should also know that the choir is halfway to an egot, as they have an emmy and a grammy. tracy jordan would be jealous.
