godly mansions

holy angels in the sky! i love singing in cathedrals! cathedrals seriously are the most gorgeous buildings on earth! not only is their architecture domineering and beautiful on the outside, the inside is full of beauty and the acoustics...glorious! the decorations of stain glass windows, wall paintings, the godly statues, the candles, everything is just beautiful.


the cathedral our choir sings in is the st. augustine cathedral on stone ave. it is absolutely beautiful. they are remodeling it, making it even more gorgeous than it already is. i am just fabrigasted at how wonderful the acoustics are in there. i wish i could sing there everyday!!! because of these beautiful cathedrals i sometimes wonder what it would be like to be a catholic! they just seem to be so, historic and full of excitement and culture. i am so thankful for catholics because they have amazing cathedrals and a fascinating history!

the acoustics in the st.augustine cathedral really and truly are stunning. two of the pieces we are performing are laus trinitati and ubi caritas. they are boh acapella latin pieces and they sound.gasp...angelic!
latin acapella pieces in a cathedral, i feel as though i should only be singing those types of pieces and convert to be a nun! i could just see it now: the first mormon nun! it would be stellar. i probably will not be dating or getting married anyway so why not take a vow of celebecy and sing latin renaissance and medieval music? i would not last as a nun honestly though. i would break too many rules. and i probably would go nuts after a while, if i have not already. besides, buddhism, now that is something to consider! or hindu...greek, roman and egyptian mythology, reincarnation? is it obvious that i just find world religions fascinating! i really do. they all have something i can learn of and from. each one has something to offer everyone in this world. a little bit everything....what is so bad about that?


on that note, go cathedrals and go choir today. that was the best we have ever sounded! please can we sound like that for our concert on sunday?! please please. we are singing in a cathedral, a house of god, and we are singing latin pieces! it is godly music in a godly atmosphere! please god let us rock it! :D and please choir, do not go on autopilot and stop caring. this is our biggest concert and our time to shine and show everyone how hard we work. how about we do not screw up for once? yes. good chat. :)
