#choir director

[transboysoprano]

I told my church choir director about my plan to transition last night. We were both several drinks deep at the bar and having a heart-to-heart. He was supportive and said he is ultimately very excited to see me becoming myself, but admitted he feels not having me as a soprano in his choir would be a huge loss. Naturally, I’m pretty conflicted about that. I really hate to inconvenience people, and I’m terrified of people pitying me when my voice isn’t what they remembered, especially when it’s inevitably going to be in that crackly unstable place for a while.

On a lighter note, when he saw me, he said he thought I had already started transitioning. I’ve lost a little weight this summer and got a good haircut so my face is a little less round than usual right now. Plus I have like, dark peach fuzz on my face naturally even without HRT, which he touched like “what is this?” I said, “It’s my mustache, any questions?” It was a weird interaction but we had a good laugh about it. I feel a real kinship with him. He’s an older gay man and really makes an effort to understand me. I think of him like a queer role model, and I think he thinks of me like a young queer to take under his wing. I’m glad we have a good rapport, and I sincerely hope I can keep singing for him while my voice changes.

Quote of the week from my church choir director: "Thanks to all of you for your hard work on the special music. Holy Week is always a killer for musicians... but to be fair, it was a killer for Jesus, too."

#when we all groaned he said 'too soon?' #best choir director ever #bluecat touches grass #christianity cw

My first song! Vibes inspired by MCR. I wanted this to be kind of an MCR interlude (like Romance or Interlude)

For some reason everytime sing or play piano it sounds like diet evanescence but I'm pretty stoked on this one!

you know when you’re anxious about something and you do best case scenario/worst case scenario/what will probably happen.

my best case scenario?? just happened?? like almost beat for beat????

#had to do a hearing with our new choir director #i mentioned i like to accompany myself on piano and he was like (gestures to piano) go for it #<- LITERALLY exactly my best case scenario #and Then ! he went Beyond my best case scenario and asked me if i write music! and i said yes! and he told me to send it to them! #and that he wants to do a commissioning contest and that he’ll keep me in the loop! #screaming #also i accidentally just they/themmed my cis straight choir director sorry

Just a few reasons why we need more truly secular school/community/professional choirs to, like, exist:

More welcoming for singers and audience members who are non-religious

More welcoming for singers and audience members of minority religions

More welcoming for singers and audience members who are uncomfortable having their sacred music taken out of context

Church choirs already exist, and there are a million other ensembles singing Gloria and Requiem and Ave Maria and Hallelujah Chorus; I promise the folks who like singing and listening to the religious classics have no shortage of options available to them

There is so much amazing secular repertoire out there that gets passed over time and time again in favor of the same old church pieces. Expand! Explore!! Seize this musical opportunity!!!

...I want to sing in a choir xD 😭

just very pissed at the fact that lost like 3 years of possibly actually learning how to use voice because teacher was transphobic.

half a year with second director taught more about how to use voice than 3 with first. not like wasn't in any advanced choirs. was in 3 and theater.

was stuck in skill level because he wouldn't teach.

#second director so lovely though #told him that missed jazz and he just said “ okay. join ” #and that was that #was in 3 of his choirs and theater too. #miss those

Very big fan of media that goes “wouldn’t it be romantic if we rotted here together” like yes, it is very romantic, correct.

#anyways thinking about how my choir director was like ‘’ a boy and a girl by Eric whitacre is too morbid’’ #and like you’re correct it’s incredibly morbid #but have you considered it’s like the most romantic thing ever #nightmare before Christmas #tmagp #the magnus protocol #and #That one rusty fears contest winner #very specifically #rusty fears 4- new roots #shoutout to Cecilia morelli your story lives rent free in my head

Minor throwaway sentence in a book on corruption I've just finished was talking about 1930s gangsters and about certain organisations in Chicago which the author stated were more ethnically diverse than the Italian mafia, and whose members were said to have included 'Irish, Welsh, Italian, and Jewish' gangsters.

Now call me sheltered but I've seen MANY Italian American gangsters immortalised in film, I've heard of the Jewish mob, and the police Irish American gangs but I have yet to see a movie about the Welsh mob. As a rule I don't go in for gangster movies but I feel there's an unfilled niche here and also I need more info.

#Might delete this in a bit #On a more serious note given the context of the Great Depression and slumps in the coal mining districts of Britain #I can see why Welsh people who emigrated to America might be form an impoverished immigrant community targeted by organised crime #And possibly my surprise comes from outdated national stereotypes and the fact that popular stereotypes of 1930s gangsters #Rarely include immigrant groups that are largely Protestant (at least in the US- in Glasgow and London it's a different story) #Makes me wonder if all those Catholic Aesthetics that directors who make movies about Italian and Irish mobsters are so fond of #Would play the same with Meredith Davies who may be a crook but at least he regularly attends the Methodist chapel #And is a teetotaller and a fixture in various choirs #Welsh accents are often quite soft too I think I'd be fucking terrified of a Welsh gangster in a movie tbh #To be fair real life organised crime obviously encompassed people from all walks of life I'm more interested in movie depictions here #'More Welsh representation!' 'Ah yes how about as gangsters?' 'Er...' #Less surprised if I come across Scots because eventhough they're privileged in the US English media does seem to view Scottish accents #As threatening so Scots often get roped in to play tough guys and gangsters and villains in all sorts of media #And often they will get an Englishman to play a Scot and Scots to play Eastern Europeans which is also weird #But that's off topic; I am not however used to Welsh villains

I am a very humble and down to earth person

Until it comes to choir etiquette

Then i become a lil bit pretentious 😅😅😅

#kiwi rambles #my church choir is informal and it drives me nuts #i mean #its literally just ‘people in my church who can/like to sing’ #and our director knows what hes doing but still #my Choir Kid Brain is like #we should have practiced getting on stage #folder in the hand opposite of the audience #dont talk during songs #lord help you if you talk during OUR SONG WE ARE PERFORMING DAMMIT- #uhhghgghhh

quiet when i'm coming home, and i'm on my own

in honor of @foxesonstilts's thorsten/sebastian playlist

#ALSO in honor of my choir director picking when the party's over as one of our songs for the semester and thus causing me to spend decent #amounts of the day singing the soprano part to myself under my breath while thinking about thorsten really hard #not a huuuunnndred percent happy with the ending but it'll do. the point is that they don't Have to be on their own and they might #finally have noticed this #tatort stuttgart

context: orchestra director and choir director are married.

yall i was in orchestra right. we're playing this passage in the piece and are on a flow roll when the teacher suddenly goes "stop" kinda loudly and we stop

and we turn and he turns to the door where the choir director is standing there. and he says, "alright kids so this is my wife Mrs *last name*, she's the choir teacher. *her first name* is her first name." and she complimented our pizzicato. and then they had a super tiny chat and then she left

the reason im pointing this out is because he literally stopped the whole orcehstra because his wife was in the doorway and when i tell yall that's relationship GOALS
