<p>1 packet rosehip tea (assuming that'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'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'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'm hung up on numbers ^^</p>

<p>I have the sheet music for Tallis' Spem in Alium for 40 voices (eight choirs of five parts each), and I was just thinking how cool it'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's handy that way, so you don'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't want anyone except the choir and a few others to know where and when. Writing vague things on the ground might help, like 'It's coming... (date)' or 'Hope... You ready? (date)'. Rehearsals would be done within the choirs; I could try and make it to all the different ones, I suppose.</p>

<p>It's a wonderful song to do in flashmob style, 'cause it starts out small and gets fairly big over a span of time, slowly attracting attention. It doesn'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's 10 minutes long c.c Well, whatever. I'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>
