OT:Requiem for Orlando
If you're free tonight in Ann Arbor, come by Hill Auditorium at 8 pm for a free performance of Mozart's Requiem in memory of the victims of Sunday's massacre. Here's an excerpt from my invitation to sing--" All peaceful individuals, regardless of race, creed, sexuality, gender, and background are welcome ...The work is not being performed in the context of a religious service...There will be a single ecumenical, pan-faith reflection offered."
If you stick around during halftime you've heard me sing with the MMB and with the NY Phil the last two years. Tonight I will try to keep my emotions under wraps while singing this beautiful, moving piece. It looks like a third of the singers who signed up are members of the UMS Choral Union and we just sang this piece with the Toledo Symphony this spring to a standing ovation,
Thank you and Go Blue.
You made me cry in public last December.
punched in the face. I made it about 10 mins into the performance before I just completely lost my shit.
I took my daughter to see Messiah for the first time and I scared the hell out of her. She had never seen me cry before that day, and there I was bawling my eyes out, snot bubbles and all.
Thanks for posting this OP. Mozart's Requiem is one of my favorite things to hear live. It will be an emotional and powerful experience for anyone in attendance.
Me, I just want to sit outside on my deck, drink my scotch neat, smoke my cigar, listen to James Taylor, and just stare at the stars dreaming of Michigan National Championships. Nobody gets killed in that scenario....a few Buckeyes or Spartans might get hurt, but nothing premanent or grotesque.
we'll always have the Freep.
Wish I could go. If anyone wants to learn about my religious movement "Bradyism" let me know. It's very peaceful. Again, it's a movement, not a cult.
Alright, I'll bite. My curiousity is sparked.
Tom Brady?
Brady Hoke?
Lloyd Brady?
The Brady Bunch?
he makes Greg Gumbel look like Malcolm X
Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr.
i gotta give props to UM for doing that. very nice.
Requiem is one of Mozart's best and most memorable melodies. Best of luck and thank you for doing that. Post video if you can.
That's a nice gesture. Unfortunately i can't be near A2 at the time.
However, i was a student during 9/11 and i still recall how moving the 'requiem' was at Hill
