It seems to me that one of the challenges of singing in a group, especially when you have a great song, is knowing how loud you sound when you get to the good bits. And since it appears that men have louder voices than women, it's often us poor tenors who get told to tone it down a little when we get too enthusiastic!
So this time around we were being advised to reduce our volume as were worked through "Can you feel the love tonight" from the Lion King - another cracking song that's included in our Autumn Concert this year (tickets available - see the Cabaret page). I'm sure that you know the song and that if you're playing it as you drive along somewhere by yourself, with the tune playing on the radio or whatever, there are some parts where you know you just have to let rip and belt it out.
It's a great feeling as a singer being able to release and go for it. But apparently it's drowning out the sopranos, who are going for a little more class, sensitivity and overall elegance. Hmm.
