The disc I'm reviewing at the moment includes a performance of Gorecki's lovely motet
Totus Tuus. I performed in last year with London Concord Singers and its a piece that calls for discipline and control. But whilst rehearsing the endlessly repeated
Maria, Maria, I had the irreverent desire to do an
arrangement of it which, at the most unsuitable moments, broke into snatches of
Maria from
West Side Story and
How do you solve a problem like Maria? from
The Sound of Music. Impossible of course, you'd never solve the copyright issues, but somehow each time I hear
Totus Tuus now, I hear these other songs bouncing away in the background.
