choral part-balancing

[cellio]

Overheard at last night's choir party:

Director: ...And I told (another choir's director) that we have five tenors now and quite a few basses too, and she was blown away. [Context: for whatever reason, SCA choirs and maybe amateur choirs in general have a lot of trouble getting enough tenors. Our choir has about 25 members and five tenors is considered very good.]

Transgender tenor: Some of our tenors used to be sopranos.¹ She could suggest...

Other choir member: In the Debatable Choir we make tenors!

¹ Two, in fact. There is also a woman in the bass section (who hasn't undergone physical changes thus far).

I am looking forward to telling Sparky about this. Every scrap of reassurance about possible SCA life after the Cradle of Kingdoms is helpful. :-)

If y'all end up in AEthelmearc, Sparky will be just fine! And if he sings and wants to join our choir (if we're so fortunate as to have you move here), he'll be most welcome no matter what part he sings. :-)
