Nothin' much to see here besides the fun new icon I made. Oh, and Doc called us the mumbling monks of something-or-other when he didn't like our "libera me"s in the final movement of the Verdi piece tonight, but nothing else was really quote-worthy.

- Becca, who actually can reach that note in said icon, and in fact one or two higher (first soprano much?)

Damn, girl! I try to hit that note and my vocal cords would be in twitching pieces on the floor!

Ah, but there's a trade-off, though--go about three notes below middle C and I'm out. No more. Doesn't happen. Which is why I get irritated when composers try to give the soprano section notes on ledger lines below the staff. Difficult! Very difficult! *strangled noise* :)

Just send in a truck of honey and lemon tea, it might make things easier...

i *think* I can hit that note... maybe only the half note below it, but I wouldn't be able to go any farther without sounding really squeeky. :)

Buuuut, I can do either soprano or alto, so I make up for it. :D

YAY new icons!

The highest note in the Verdi piece this semester is the B flat two octaves above middle C. Last semester we had that C in the picture, and just doing scales, I can go a little higher. That's not to say I like starting up there...Doc almost had a mutiny on his hands last semester when he tried to start us at a measure where the first note was an A or B flat or something like that. *snicker*

Oh, nice! I physically can't do a lot of the usual alto range, so I'm slightly jealous. ;)
