Paul took this picture of me before the concert. I believe it went well overall. The Gloria is such a difficult piece, sung in Latin. And the solo that I sang was one of the most difficult I have ever performed.

I brought our digital camera and set it up on a tripod in the audience. I had to start taping twenty minutes before the concert, so I have twenty minutes of people being seated and eight minutes of the Gloria before my memory card filled up.
I was not really intending to tape the whole concert, or even the whole Gloria, but I was hoping to get the solo on tape. It cut off right before I started to sing in Movement two.
We have a second performance tonight, but I am not going to mess with the camera again. It was so fun to sing with this group! We really had a great time, and singing before a live audience is one of my favorite experiences in life! Please have a wonderful holiday season and enjoy the first movement of John Rutters Gloria, brought to you by the Colorado Repertory Singers. I am standing on the left side of the stage, stage right to all you theatre people, on the second row.
