29 august, the first day

That was pretty hard working this First day. It was my plan to go through al the five parts of the Poverty Requiem. To let it sound. And to give al my experience of working with different choirs in different situations to the conductors who are in the workshop.
Fortunately there were besides the conductors also several singers, so we formed a choir of about 25 people. So we could realize the real situation of studying and performing.

It sounded beautiful in this small formation. Michelle en Petronel did as soloist a very good job. Because Petronel didn’t prepare, there was also the real situation of working with soloists.

Maybe it was some information overload this first day. There is so much to say about how to study the requiem. And how to solve the little problems you have to tackle. But I’m convinced that these marvellous people of all over the world will succeed there own. After dinner they went to the hotel. And I’m sure they fall in their beds with a head full of music and full of ideas. Just like me.
