Terrible Duet

28 August, 2006

Only three of us showed up in the church choir last Sunday. Jim was the cantor of the day, meanwhile Elli and I sang in soprano. Since practicing in the music room minutes before the mass, I knew it was going terrible. We were both unfamiliar with most of the songs. Elli used to sing in alto and she sounds sort of flat, false and low, and she was barely to hear (sorry Elli!). I myself always have pitch problems that sometimes I couldn't reach the high notes and I have to admit that I couldn't sing out loud as well as other sopranos do. Don't you think it sounds we were a terrific terrible match? However, Jim the best male vocalist in our group turned out to be the hero who has saved our disaster yesterday. He covered up all the songs we both sounded a little bit pitchy most of the time, he knew all the songs we sang that Sunday, although I knew he had a bit doubt on a new pianist who was first time ever playing music for our group. In the end of the mass, Elli said something nice about me that I sounded perfect and was able to sing in the right tune, only I need to improve myself how to sound with more power. It was surprising me, though! I never knew I have "that talent". In fact, I do love to sing no matter I could or I couldn't be able doing it well. Anyhow, I told Elli I won't be confident doing duet in soprano again. I'd rather be sitting in the congregations than performing trouble on the stage.
