Two daughters, two songs, two languages, one proud papa

Cecilia Gigliotti's performance of "Per la gloria d'adorarvi" from Griselda at the Tri-M Music Honors Society Induction Ceremony at New Britain High School (5/31/12):


and

Celeste Gigliotti's solo in "Cantar" at the Hartford Middle Magnet/Trinity College Academy's choral concert (5/21/12).  [Note actual song doesn't atart until the 1:20 mark.  Apologies for the poor paternal cinematography.]:

"Never Mind the Why or Wherefore!"

Today my younger daughter is shadowing at the Hartford Magnet Middle School, a.k.a., the Hartford Middle Magnet or simply HMMS.

Now when I hear HMMS, I can't help thinking that it sounds either vaguely like the acronym for some Catholic high school or, even more so, like the title of that beloved Gilbert and Sullivan operetta H.M.S. Pinafore, which is the reason I shall henceforth refer to said middle school simply as "Pinafore."
