<p>1 packet rosehip tea (assuming that&rsquo;s about 10 dried/ground rosehips).
7 drops of honey.
5 horsemint flowers (or 1 large leaf, or a pinch of dried leaf).
3 leaves lemon balm.
3 leaves mint (I believe it&rsquo;s spear mint).
2 leaves basil</p>
<p>Makes one cup. For stronger taste, run through espresso machine twice. (sans honey and horsemint; steep the horsemint and add the honey last - this makes a very strong tea). A very small amount of cinnamon goes well. It&rsquo;s useful for many things, but I have yet to figure out what. Basically, it just makes me feel good. Not terribly tasty. Tastes better on more sugar/honey, but.. well, whatever. I&rsquo;m hung up on numbers ^^</p>

<p>I have the sheet music for Tallis&rsquo; Spem in Alium for 40 voices (eight choirs of five parts each), and I was just thinking how cool it&rsquo;d be to sing that at CSU flashmob style. Have 40 or 80 people milling about during a busy day on the plaza suddenly burst into song starting with a solitary voice. It&rsquo;s handy that way, so you don&rsquo;t have to blow a pitch pipe loudly and attract attention. For directing, a tactus might be handy. A white cloth on the top of my staff would work.</p>
<p>This would require much planning. First, getting even 40 people might be tough. Perhaps vague signs in the music building and perhaps on the Plaza and in the student center.. I wouldn&rsquo;t want anyone except the choir and a few others to know where and when. Writing vague things on the ground might help, like &lsquo;It&rsquo;s coming&hellip; (date)&rsquo; or &lsquo;Hope&hellip; You ready? (date)&rsquo;. Rehearsals would be done within the choirs; I could try and make it to all the different ones, I suppose.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s a wonderful song to do in flashmob style, &lsquo;cause it starts out small and gets fairly big over a span of time, slowly attracting attention. It doesn&rsquo;t even have to be at the Plaza, or even at CSU, or even in Ft. Collins. Then the choir could just disapear into the crowd (hopefull ^^). The only real problem with the song is that it&rsquo;s 10 minutes long c.c Well, whatever. I&rsquo;ll look around, maybe there are some other ones that would work well. Some stuff, just as a note to myself: Socio-Musicological Ramifications, Experiments in Socio-Musicology, have my own group be the first choir. Some notes on the song: 138 bars; the pdfs I have of the sheet music are for individual choirs with the other choirs in piano reduction; each file is 34 pages long; I have midis of all parts and all choirs separately, as well as one of the whole thing with a continuo; given time, which I have, I could Sibelius-ize the song, and distribute cds to all members with stuff on them, like an mp3 of the song, appropriate midis, and sheet music</p>
