There is a direct connection between the duet from the Pearl Fishers and my tear ducts.... I just can't help it.

If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music. ~Gustav Mahler
My Blogs
The Cast
Chorus: Yours Truly, the author of this blog.
WH: WonderHubby, the man of my dreams, my best friend and co-conspirator. A professional choral conductor. He got me hooked on golf.
Baby Bird: Our totally nifty baby girl.
Mama Cat: A jet-black, three year-old Bombay Siamese beastie who takes up almost all of my side of the bed, and demonstrates intense neediness frequently. Likes to have her ears scratched.
Baby Cat: Her daughter, a more traditional Siamese-coloured cat, now almost two years old. Purrs like a locomotive, sheds all over everything, takes up the rest of my side of the bed.
Maternal Unit: My mum, an Anglican priest here in Prairie City. Smart, funny and brave.
Eldest Brother: My biggest brother, an archaeologist, and an all-around nifty fellow. Taught me all about sports.
Middle Brother: Also my elder, but by not quite as much as EB. He works for our provincial government, doing neat things with disaster preparedness planning. He beat up the boys who were mean to me in elementary school.
Paternal Unit: My dad, who is a professional storyteller in another province far away.
And of course, there are others...

We just watched a DVD of the Pearl Fishers the other day. Let me tell you there is no actual fishing and that these two singers do a much better job of this than those we heard!
yes it would be kind of ... undramatic ... to have a couple of guys sitting on stage with oyster-knives, hucking and shucking, wouldn't it? Just a thought.
That is a great video. I was glad to see that youtube also had the previous standard-setter: Bjoerling and Merrill...that was the one I grew up on!
