Like Angels Singing

The soloists are listed: Soprano, Alto, two Tenors, and then the Bass.

I had the distinct pleasure of attending a concert the other night (we have to find a babysitter that we can use!). Our friend, David, who sings in the Graz Opera, was performing as part of an ensemble. Of course we were proud that he was the lead Bass and was part of two solos.

The ensemble was performing one of the Schubert "masses" (number 6), and fittingly, it was performed in Herz-Jesu-Kirche (Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus), the largest of Graz's many beautiful churches (circa, late 1800's).  Schubert, I've since learned, was one of the most prolific composers even though he died at age 31.  He was from Vienna and his earlier works were "Mozart-esque."

Like many of my pics, you can find better ones online!

When you click on the link below to hear a 15-second snipet, imagine you are an old church, in an old European city and in the main hall that is at least 10 stories tall (the whole church is almost 30 stories tall!).  I've named this audio clip, like angels singing, for a reason!

Sounds like angels singing ...
