Scarily enough, I'm also singing the soprano solo this weekend in a
singalong. I say scarily because I'm not a soprano. It's only the 3 recits
(#14-16) and the "I know that my redeemer liveth," all of which I know and
can sing. Apparently the conductor thought I was a soprano (the curse of the
bright-voiced mezzo!) and offered me the gig without specifying the voice
type; I assumed I was doing the alto and accepted (all of these occured over
a 4 day period via voice mail) and finally we spoke on Sunday and he told me
which numbers I was singing. I asked what the fee was and said, "Of course I
can sing those."
I'm kind of nervous; I really have to spend the next few days thinking on the
"other side of the hyphen."
