Personally I suspect Tral-la-la-lally is just the Elvish way of throwing shade: making up dumb songs on the spot about people you want to mock.
Ah yes, the fabled dignity and subtlety of the Elvish race…
For @everythingquenya: their wonderful translation of Pippin’s song Edge of Night, from Return of the King (from this post here!)
My Quenya pronunciation is probably wonky, but I tried! 🙂 I hope you enjoy it!

So, a silly little something we did this morning? For the fab and wonderful @poplitealqueen. *hugs* Hope it brings a smile or two.
(I wanted to record her saying ‘Poplitealqueen’ but tbh that might take a little longer! 😉
I’ve clearly lost my mind and decided to post this one too. This has a little intro for @determamfidd . Take advantage of my tired state and enjoy, (but this one had better acoustics anyway lol)
*shrieks*
OH WOW THAT IMPROV
THAT IMPROV ROCKS MY SOCKS SO HARD THEY FLEW RIGHT OFF MY FEET

wonderful, WONDERFUL WORK LACE! Thank you sos os soooo much, I am so honoured and thrilled to hear your pipes in full flight, they’re absolutely beautiful!
I promised @determamfidd that I would record something at full volume the next time I had the opportunity. So I recorded her two songs. she picked this one. I’ll decide weather or not I want to put the other up later.
I love this song, it reminds me of Good Omens (angels dining at the ritz lol)
OH GOD LACE
THIS IS GORGEOUS, oh wow – you have such a silky, classic jazz style!!! Lovely open vowels, great tone and awesome diction… alkdsflajsgfakjdkajhfda BEAUTIFUL – thank you so so so much for sharing this!
*runs to listen again*
A long long time ago I was in a production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. I played Feste. At the end of the play he sings this song(the piano broke). I sang it a cappella in front of many parents and students and it was horrifying. But that’s something that sticks with you; I still know the whole song. posting me singing makes me nervous as hell but I’m in the right mood tonight.
I recorded this because I was talking to @the-dragongirl about missing acting. So I present this as a gift for her. I’ll also tag @determamfidd because she seems to like it when I sing.
I LOVE IT WHEN YOU SING, LACE!!!
General things I’ve gathered from the seven-ish years I’ve been in choir
1. Nobody likes the sopranos
2. The sopranos don’t even like the sopranos
3. The only people that like sopranos are the ones that write the music and that one soprano that dominates the rest
4. The altos are never loud enough
5. But when they are, they’re the most beautiful sounding creatures and make the sopranos jealous of their rich tones
6. Basses hardly get the attention they deserve because their parts are so. dull. And yet they have the most work to do because singers barely know how to sight read and these basses have to read the goddamn bass cleft does anyone even understand that shit???
7. But you better believe everyone is going to pay attention when it’s just the basses practicing because holy shit have you heard a bass sing
8. No one knows how to sight read. Literally everyone is doing it by ear. And half the time, the sopranos don’t even have to sight read because they have the melody. Again.
9. The tenors have the entire music industry catered to them, and yet they will always be secretly jealous of the basses
10. A first soprano will be offended if you demote her to second soprano for even one song. No one knows why.
11. The choir director is always tired. And angry. And passive aggressive. Do not chew gum in front of them unless you want to be chewed on yourself.
12. If you think having Christmas decorations being sold in November is ridiculous, don’t speak to someone in the choir. They have been practicing every Christmas carol since the first week of September. The Christmas Spirit does not exist for a choir soul. They are numb to it.
13. Do not make the choir sing anything by Handel. That is a form of Torture. Please be kind to the choir. They’ve been through enough already.
14. Stay away from the piano. Especially if it’s a Steinway. Firstly, no one likes that one douchebag that plays Heart and Soul every goddamn time they touch the keys. Secondly, that’s a Steinway and the choir director will have a heart attack if it’s even slightly damaged.
15. The most common phrase heard in choir is “SOPRANOS, NOT SO LOUD”
Actual quotes from my university choir director:
“Tenors, pinch a dime between your asscheeks!”
“Dear Opal: it’s this note. Love, Opal.”
“Altos, what the shit?”
“Life is not adagio!!”
“I swear it takes an act of God and congress…”
And then one from a different choir director, just as beloved, and just as unhinged:
*WORDLESS ROARING WHILE CONDUCTING A 3 IN ONE LARGE ARM-SWING FIST-PUMP CIRCLE*
I’m not even a vocalist but as a music major I still have to study SATB vocal pieces and God damn it the bass parts are bullshit. We’re always taught to move up or down by step when writing a piece, then you have the basses that have to jump like fourths and fifths on every Goddamn note. Basses get absolutely no love, instrumentalists and vocalists alike.
Aw Yiss
