Smiley leading his chorus in happy songs so sing out 2022 for the Smile on Saturday challenge: Smiley.
Happy Smiley Saturday and all the best for a great 2023!
Until I started enjoying all of the posts for this challenge I had no idea of just how pervasive these little yellow guys are!
These guys were exceptionally difficult to photograph while singing. Most of them would hush up as soon as either my focusing light or my flash hit them; perhaps this individual felt sufficiently protected by being tucked into the vegetation to continue his song as I recorded him. Madison County, Illinois
BTW, if you are interested in seeing a nice description of the whole evening (including the research being conducted), my friend Ozark Bill just posted a blog entry that covers the evening:

A view on the Chorus House, in Dutch Huis Chorus or Chorushoeve.
This half-timbered style monumental farm house can be found at the center of Munstergeleen, a small village situated in the southern part of the Netherlands. The oldest parts of the building are from the year 1623, but it was substantially extended around 1800.
This is the village I grew up in. The building is now in private hands, but I can vividly remember it being a kind of community centre, with all kinds of activities, such as Saint Martin's Day, and teenage disco nights in the early 1970s.
Like a pair of leggy dancers, wading birds strut their stuff on the tidal mudflats of Moreton Bay off Wynnum. An interesting combination of a White-headed Stilt and an Eastern Curlew.
Coincidentally, there was a flashmob event by this choir on the stairs of the large house in Stuttgart. Wonderful! voices, nice to hear in the christmas time. I think this were professional singers.
The choir director is Lukas Grimm, who is also the artistic director of the Wuerttemberg Chamber Choir.
The chorus was sponsored by a commercial marketing event from www.drhauschka.de/. natural cosmetics.
I've no relations with them only took the picture by a chance.

Back up the cul-de-sac
Come on, do your worst
You've quit your job again
And your train of thought
If you could do it all again
A little fairy dust
Thousand tiny birds singing
If you must, you must
Please let me know
When you've had enough
Of the white light
Of the dawn chorus
If you could do it all again
You don't know how much
Pronto pronto, moshi mosh
Come on, chop chop

The center of a wolf's universe is its pack, and howling is the glue that keeps the pack together. Some have speculated that howling strengthens the social bonds between packmates; the pack that howls together, stays together. That may be so, but chorus howls can also end with nasty quarrels between packmates. Some members, usually the lowest-ranking, may actually be "punished" for joining in the chorus. Whether howling together actually strengthens social bonds, or just reaffirms them, is unknown. (Ref: pbs.org)

There's something about these sunflower fields that make me imagine they're all about to speak to us. I don't quite know what they'd say, but it really looks like there's faces on here, ready to sing their hearts out. Or maybe their seeds out?

A 3.45am alarm call this morning saw me in the Calder Valley by 6 o'clock with what I thought was plenty of time to snap the westbound Lindsey - Preston loaded bitumen tanks (6M32) - especially as it had been running 15 minutes late when I left home. However a quick check on RTT in Todmorden revealed it had not only caught up on the lost time but was now running 25 minutes early - yikes!
This spot at Lydgate wasn't the one intended but has the advantage of being both close to the road and on the "bucket list" for a westbound working. So, just 12 minutes after I arrived, and giving its best rendering of a dawn chorus (Mirrlees style) is Colas Tug 60047, working hard to lift its 1760t trainload up the climb to Copy Pit.
Needless to say there weren't too many folks about enjoying the early hour so the normally busy A646 was reasonably clear - well, save for the odd early worker and mad snapper.

Sing through shadow
Sing through light
Sing through colour
Warm and right.
Song o'er water
Song 'cross sky
Sweet siren song
As time flits by
These are a couple more shots from last Wednesday morning, possibly the only day I will get to shoot fall colours this year.

The origins of choral music are found in traditional music, as singing in big groups is extremely widely spread in traditional cultures (both singing in one part, or in unison, like in Ancient Greece, as well as singing in parts, or in harmony, like in contemporary European choral music).
The oldest unambiguously choral repertory that survives is that of ancient Greece, of which the 2nd century BC Delphic hymns and the 2nd century AD. hymns of Mesomedes are the most complete. The original Greek chorus sang its part in Greek drama, and fragments of works by Euripides (Orestes) and Sophocles (Ajax) are known from papyri. The Seikilos epitaph (2c BC) is a complete song (although possibly for solo voice). One of the latest examples, Oxyrhynchus hymn (3c) is also of interest as the earliest Christian music.
