Tim Smith, accompainies Riverside choirMessiah rehearsals
two Messiah score pages -- 1 April 2001 and 26 April 2001
Here are two April 2001 drawings of Tim accompanying the Riverside choir as they rehearsed choruses of the Messiah in preparation for performing it, in part on 5 May, and fully on 6 May 2001.
The earlier (left) was drawn during the 1 April Sunday morning rehearsal, while Tim, at the (undrawn) piano, accompanied some section (other than the basses) on a segment of "All we like sheep". The later (right) was done 4 weeks later, as some other section of the choir was being rehearsed by Helen Cha-Pyo on "Lift up your heads". The characterisitic postures of a particular pianist can be just as evident from the rear as from any other angle, and these views of Tim, even without including the rest of his body - including the hands at work - demonstrate this.
