No music

For some inxeplicable reason there frequently are problems with installing programmes on the "new" computer. One of the problems is that I can't install Noteworthy, that I use to play songs I need to learn. And I cant find my flute either so I can't play them either. We should practice our parts in Alta Trinita beata before next choir and [livejournal.com profile] haugtussa also brought me a fun song for three female voices from the 13th century, Trois serors sor rive mer and I wanted to at least her what the second soprano sounded like.
It's such a fun text. It starts with telling that three sisters are standing by a river, then the three parts sing different lyrics as well as different tones. The 1st soprano is the youngest sister, who sings that she has brown hair so she wants a male friend (ami) that also has brown hair, very naïve. [livejournal.com profile] haugtussa would sing this, which is very fitting since she is still very young. The second soprano, which would be sung by me, is the middle sister who sings: "The middle sister calls Robin (Robin and Marion are the archetypal lovers in french medieval may poetry) her friend, he took me out into the forest, take me back there again". This, most people who know me would say, is also very fitting. The eldest sister is sung by the alto, and is very virtuous and tells that you should find your true love and be faithful and what could be more fitting than that Anna, who is 25 and has been together with her boyfriend for ten years, should sing that?
But I can't even listen to my part!
