I attended a rather musical two year college and was in their concert and dance choirs as well as the men's quartet for a time (not all three at the same time). I truly enjoyed it and miss those days. Man I wish someone would upload one of our songs. Maybe I'll do it myself one of these days. Frankly, I was disappointed with our quartet, mostly because our lead would always go flat and bring us down in pitch. I remember we were going to sing a four part arrangement of "This is the Moment" from Jeckyll and Hyde, but we only performed it twice in small settings rather than in the big concerts because we couldn't keep pitch. I sang the tenor part and had to hit some wonderfully high notes in falsetto. I loved it, but I could always hear him dragging us down and therefore my notes weren't quite so high. I was really disappointed. But we had some decent pieces.
Sorry to hear about your church choir, Warb. Always sad when those things dwindle. Traditional choirs are an amazing thing.
