last post of the night, honest!

Sorry to spam, but here is something funny that happened at rehearsal tonight. We've got a piece that's actually lovely but includes some tricky chords and weird melodies, so we'll always be spending a little time on it.

chorus master T: It's just important to know your interval over that bar line. Second sopranos have a major fifth, so that's easy - but first sopranos, you've got that tritone.
first sopranos: [grumble]
chorus master T: Yeah, someone asked me last week, if the tritone is diabolus in musica, why would this composer have used it on the word Son? Go figure.
me, within my section: Oh, he was just being ironic.
second sopranos: [bust up laughing]
