I had a full day yesterday. I think I used up more energy pie than I had judging from how exhausted I am today.

However last night’s choir rehearsal went very well. I chose a few more difficult (or at least not easy) anthems and we read through them last night. The Hassler piece (Quia vidisti me) went very well. I think we were all surprised by how good we sounded on it. The person who suggested we sing it wasn’t too pleased that we were doing it in Latin, but I told her that’s how we were going to do it and she accepted it, I think.

Today I continue to overuse my energy pie. I have spent a good deal of energy looking for music for my piano trio to consider using as preludes and postludes. I also spent an hour or so on Finale. My violinist dropped of a piano accompaniment to a violin collection. It has “Jesu, joy of man’s desiring in it” and Vivaldi’s Adagio from Winter (just to mention a couple). I made cello parts to fit with it. Then I redid the cello part for my trio, “Stirred Hearts and Souls.”

Then I went to visit my Mom and take my synth to church. Right now I’m resting up for this afternoon’s rehearsal.

I bookmarked this one so that I could look back on which people are making decisions in the Trump Presidency.
