Yeah, it helps that I was YSO stage manager at the time. :-) And actually, I think you were right—it was probably just the Glee Club, not the Camerata. I don't think we had everybody down on the Woolsey stage until Carmina, which was the year after the Walton. Now I'm trying to remember who was involved the next time I was in it (Camerata, much more recently). Possibly Philharmonia?

I'm rather fond of it, truth be told—it's a very cheesy piece, but so much fun to sing. :-)

I remember stone_and_star having much the same slightly embarrassed but fond reaction - as if it were a Twinkie or something. :)

I knew that was the piece in question, but I have no memory of singing the word "eunuchs," especially not in such an emphasized way. It's possible that wasn't in the alto line. Though it's also possible that this piece has been overwhelmed in my mind by the memory of "Peaceable Kingdom," which is what I think is running through my head right now. My memory of Belshazzar may not be very clear.

You didn't—it's men only for that section. Your first line would have been "by the waters of Babylon," I think.

Dude, you're like a machine. Good memory.
