Yes @Appleblossom , I've performed a few Christmas oratorios, on trumpet and with my bass baritone voice; I've also performed oratorios for voice and trio basso continuo, and quartet too.

 

I'm practising a jazz nocturne, as well as Gershwin's "I Got Rhythm", "Besame Mucho",  the theme song from "Schindler's List" a sarabande and gavotta by Arcangelo Corelli, some Richard Strauss, and Carl Böhm's "Calm as the Night."

 

Do you play any instruments, I recommend music as a great living skill and coping mechanism for everything in life, and learning music for its own sake is a very important part of living and coping.  We've got nwuroplastic brains, and a really important part of humans being able to cope is through learning new stuff.

 

I also play chess, and at the moment I'm in the middle game, progressing slowly.  I had a game with someone last night and this morning which ended in a draw.
