Requiem

Last night, Lizzy, Jo, and I went to a choir and instrumental concert of Mozart's Requiem. It was fabulous! It was in la Cathédrale Saint-Pierre in Geneva so the acoustics were great. It was in honor of the 250th anniversary of the birth of Mozart. There were three pieces: L'Abîme des oiseaux by Olivier Messiaen, which was a clairnet piece, Quintette pour clarinette et cordes en la majeur K 581 by Mozart, which was actually my favorite because it reminded me of Spring time (!), and then Requiem by Mozart. It was so relaxing after all the recent stress that's been building. It put me in a good mood and it made me a little sleepy, so I fell right asleep last night. It really was fabulous and I'm very glad I went.
