chocolatepotFelt so bad for the basses last night at rehearsal. Something I've noticed in various choruses is that the basses tend to get used to always singing the root of the chord and having fairly simple, predictable harmonies, but this is not the case in Britten's St. Nicolas. They ended up being told to practice a half dozen times, and the director even told the guy seated in front of me to stop singing twice.
There's too much stuff to do/potentially do this month and it's making me avoidant! Why does everything happen so fast!
So in cataloguing, I use the term "bodice" for something that appears to be the bodice to a dress that has lost its skirt (although technically, it may be a separate bodice). I use "shirt" for men's shirts and for more manly/utilitarian shirtwaists. I use "waist" for bodices that I'm reasonably certain were conceived of as separate entities. This partly feels confusing and overcomplicated but the only other option is really to undercomplicate and pick just one term for all of them, isn't it? "Waist" seems like the biggest stretch but I didn't feel comfortable with any of the other options for these.
