E...Lu - do try the cookies, they're delicious!<br /><br />Esther - I think they were a local choral society as quite a few of them seemed to be very accomplished, trained singers. And if they were, then they'd have made sure their choir was a balanced one. Ours is about 4 women to each male and most of our tenors are female. <br /><br />I love your Monteverdi idea - it wouldn't take so many people to do that and would be very effective :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-41672575689274662872010-12-13T09:22:23.244+00:002010-12-13T09:22:23.244+00:00Really enjoyed the video . . .

I began to think, "If I had only five minutes in which to tell someone I loved them and this lot popped up . . . !"<br /><br />I was also thinking "Where did they get their men from?" - in the sense that there are nearly always lots of women around with good voices who want to sing. The male section of choirs can be a bit thin.<br /><br />I go on my way smiling.<br /><br />Esther<br /><br />P.S. I'm now hoping some Monteverdi will burst out while I am shopping - you know the kind . . . where someone sings a line and it is echoed by someone else at a distance. And I'd miss out on someone telling me they love me if I could have Beatus Vir suddenly sung by surprise.Esther Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412078991551799972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-44932677734269052452010-12-12T21:28:59.641+00:002010-12-12T21:28:59.641+00:00why is it that mistletoe seems so very localised? ...why is it that mistletoe seems so very localised?

Gald I've rediscovered you too :)<br /><br />PG - the problem with doing a mini summary of a lengthy NT piece is that you concentrate on just 1 aspect of it. The NT want us to ensure our mistletoe supplies are from sustainable sources. And if orchards are disappering and therefore quite a lot of mistletoe and mistletoe adapts itself to its host, won't that make it more difficult to establish it on other trees? So therefore, both you and the NT are right! Thanks for another link - The GYO link I gave has lots pictures of mistletoe and shows it does indeed take a long time to take - the seedling plant after 1 year is tiny.<br /><br />I was surprised to find we have mistletoe growing in the middle of town last year.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-42820251544704013122010-12-12T12:43:13.159+00:002010-12-12T12:43:13.159+00:00I would question the National Trust statement sinc...I would question the National Trust statement since mistletoe, whilst predomiantly growing on apple trees, will also grow on other trees. In fact we have it growing all over the place at work! I also think, though I cant remember where I read it recently, that if you want mistletoe seeds to germinate then you need to apply them to the same type of tree as they originated from as they adapt to the species, if you see what I mean. So your best bet is to get some mistletoe direct from a tree and transfer it to one of the same and the seeds wont take until February/March - see this site http://www.mistletoe.org.uk/home/mtoebuyngrow5.htm.
