At some point the pain of the deadline becomes greater than the pain of indecision. Deadlines are the only reason I finish anything.

A recent facebook status by renowned choral composer Eric Whitacre.

Guys… he’s just like us… he procrastinates JUST LIKE US!!!

Yannick Nézet-Séguin talking about why he loves Brahms' requiem.

This was my last run-out at Westminster, and boy do I feel honored that I was a part of this.

(He was absolutely AMAZING to work with on this performance. Plus he's really short and funny.)

Fun fact!

Since its inception in 1970, the Tanglewood Festival Chorus (the resident chorus of the Boston Symphony Orchestra) has performed Beethoven's ninth symphony 36 times. This August will be the 37th performance.

That's a lot of Ode to Joy's.

Don't judge me on the Bieber. I've been seeing him all over my newsfeed, and I pose this question.

Is it just me, or does Bieber's "Nothing Like Us" sound exactly like Monteverdi's "Pur ti miro?"

This is a Baroque rendition of Justin Bieber's "Beauty and a Beat." Absolutely, most definitely, and deserving of a view.

What are your thoughts on this? Primarily the attention to style and the usage of a choir?
