Not quite the same

Had a bit of a chuckle this evening. I played at a graduate symposium with another grad student tonight. We played Meditation from Thais, by Massanet. A pretty famous little piece--I'm positive all of you have heard it. Before everything started, the cute girl who was announcing everything was double-checking the pronunciation of everything; how to say Thais (Tie-ease) and Massanet (Mass-a-nay). Well, in the actual announcement she said that we were going to be playing "Mediation." Sort of puts a different spin on the mood of the music! I was smiling too hard (couldn't exactly laugh out loud at that moment) to hear if she pronounced the rest of it correctly.
