*[Now Playing on MadTrollie*["The Mix"]*]*
I had originally decided not to walk today..being 9/11 even though the events occurred 19 years ago the mood of some might be a little on edge..and add to that the CV-19 continuing restrictions have some peeps "on edge" and just to add a little more stress it's a presidential election year in the USA..but had a break just about 09:00..and decided to go and get what I needed at Aldi..nothing out of the usual fair and without incident..now I had penciled in a walk Sunday to the convenience store..and in retrospect the fact that I did the Aldi walk today was a wise choice..howbeit by whim and not by design..because the advanced forecast for Sunday is for rain beginning about 08:00 and continuing throughout the day light hours..so maybe will take that walk tomorrow..stores are in the opposite direction..
Speaking of 9/11..I had at the time been sing with the local Northcountry Choral Society..we sang mostly classical/baroque/liturgical music..and our first rehearsal for the traditional first weekend in December concert series was always the first Sunday in October..now over the past winter the founder of the group had pasted away..and when the committee met in June to plan the program the decided to include a new arrangement of the piece "The Soul's of the Righteous are in the Hands of God"..a piece were the first 2/3rd of the piece are in a minor key..and the note(s} in the chord(s} called the "suspended note" the one that makes it a minor was in the tenor part..the part I sang..but it took us three or four runs through before we did lose part of the choir to tears..but the neat part of the piece..is about 2/3rd of the way through the piece the tenors have a run starting at low C and when we hit a G above middle C on the word "God"..we're on the same pitch as the Altos and the cord resolves to a major..and it's like the dark clouds part and the sun shines through..but at all three performances the audience react was dead silence for about 15 seconds..and then in some cases a standing "O"..a beautiful piece of music to listen to..and even better if you are as I was in the middle of that music being made..unfortunately I have searched high & low on Youtube and can't find a video of that particular arrangement..
Still a few details to complete before the day comes to an end..ergo..nite all....
