OCMCO Concert

Alexis did a great job in the OCMCO concert a few weeks ago. She practiced for a part that they sang in smaller groups on a chair in our family room. She started getting all pop on us by putting a million runs in one syllable. We had to nip that in the bud...quick. Brett hates that kind of stuff.

It was a really special concert in particular because it was Brett's Oratorio. Have you ever watched Amadeus? You know when he locks himself in his room writing his masterpiece? That's an Oratorio. He didn't go crazy...although he worked on it day and night. Then when he said he was finished he'd get a vision and leave a family get together to go back home and write some more. It was truly amazing. I still can't believe my brother-in-law wrote the whole thing from scratch. We were all left speechless. The oratorio was written to the words in 2nd Nephi when Jesus Christ visits the America's.

The 1st video are the kids 4-18 singing together. The 2nd video is part of his oratorio (mostly adults).
