Girls allowed, at last, at Vienna’s New Year’s Day concert
NewsIt was disclosed this morning that, for the first time, the Vienna Girls Choir will take part in the world’s most watched concert on January 1, 2023.
The Girls Choir was founded in 2004 as a counterpart to the boys.
The girls, who wear matching uniforms, will sing Josef Strauss’s “Heiterer Muth” together with the boys.
Pass the receptacle.
It will be a beautiful moment.
“Pass the receptacle” . . . is than an obtuse pass at a barf joke?!? . . . If so, how is it better that the British fill up their cathedrals with boys choirs, singing about bunting down the muddy canal while gazing up the sheep and a cute bonny lass in the meadow? If you were saying, instead, NL, “quick, plug in my cell phone so I can record this”; well, then please forgive me for making the wrong assumption. Seems to me that this will be something of a break-through moment for the female gender, regardless of what they’re singing.
What does “Pass the receptacle” mean?
They should have done this a long time ago.
“Pass the receptacle.”
???????
They have a couple of centuries of catch-up to be getting on with!! Go to it, girls.
Boring.
. . . yes, you most definitely are.
Wait a few more years and there will be a Vienna non-binary Choir.
All good. But it has a bit of catching up to do with a choir founded in 1498 that also has had to deal with changing voices. And of course we know the tone of the boys’ voices make it unique.
The combined choir for the 2023 concert was magical and glorious to not only to hear but to see. Thank you for the experience.
