I went to a Messiah Sing last night - we don't do the whole things, so it was just 2 1/2 hours, but sing all the good stuff. Maggie, what I do is sing Soprano at the Messiah Sing, and then sing alto in the church choir the next day, so I am using different parts of my voice. If they need me on Soprano at church, I'll sing alto for the Messiah Sing. Otherwise I am pretty much done vocally for a day or so!

But it was wonderful, great fun - I go to the one run by the Masterworks Chorale, and they have an orchestra of volunteer musicians, 4 soloists, and the director conducts the whole audience as the chorus! Since Lady's Human and his crew moved west, we don't have anyone from my family in the bass section, as my older brother had to work, but we had in our family one tenor, two altos, and two sopranos!

Edited to add: And since posting that "Worthy is the Lamb" has been running through my head!
