I drove over to practice the Verdi Requiem with the\u00c2\u00a0Symphony Chorus. I usually drive in from the College street side and park at a meter but a hurried dinner at Bulldog&#8217;s Pizza (best burgers in town) put me on the opposite side of the campus. Construction prevented me from driving across it and when I saw another chorus member hop out of her car in the nearly empty lot by one of the residence halls I figured she knew what she was doing. Maybe she had a sticker but I got the shock. $31.00! It will be a long time before I get another one of those.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The chorus still has two weeks to practice before the performance. I&#8217;m listening to a digitized 1957 mono recording of the Requiem now. Its a grand piece that one might expect to be written for a Napoleon or some Emperor with the sobriquet &#8220;Great.&#8221; Verdi, however, wrote it as a memorial for a friend who was a fellow composer. Because the friend is relatively obscure today the requiem\u00c2\u00a0stands as a\u00c2\u00a0testament to depth of feeling anyone might experience at such a\u00c2\u00a0 loss.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>That&#8217;s enough music criticism for me.
