As you may well know, I sing in the University of Dublin Choral Society here at Trinity College, Dublin. Right now, we are preparing for our next concert in April, where we will be performing Verdi's Requiem. It is an amazing piece of music, and if have the chance, listen to the Dies Irae section. We are singing at the Grand Canal Theater, which is a brand new performance hall in Dublin, and we will be joining the Guinness Choir and the Ulster Orchestra. We are even going to Belfast to rehearse with the Ulster Orchestra, which my friends and I are planning on making a weekend trip out of it to see the city.
Every year, the UDCS hosts a quartet singing competition, and some of the my friends and I decided to enter. After having some initial difficulty getting a group together, we finally did. We sang two songs, a set piece, "The Long Day Closes," and a piece of our choosing, "Psallite, Unigenito," a Latin and German song. Here is our group singing our chosen piece:
While we didn't win the competition, we had a lot of fun participating in it and we are looking forward to the concert in April.
