It was a night where most ( but not all) went so right and as we sang I caught the eye of one of the lady tenors who like me had started to tear up at the power of it all, and we smiled oh so gently at each other
More Mudita
A Choir's Mudita!
Ps I'm not being so saccharine here...as my nerves were somewhat shattered during practice by one of my fellow bases who never fucking stops chattering. At one moment I turned to my friend Peter who is a retired gentleman farmer and said " I'm going to smack him one if he doesn't stop,yacking"
Peter smiled and nodded " You are a leader not a follower " he whispered
Lovely
ReplyDeleteSuperb. Thanks John.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Today my husband shocked me by giving all his change to a homeless man. Usually, and especially since his head injury, he is gruff and not so empathetic, but today...wow.

ReplyDeleteThe choir just took me away to another place amazing what music and do for our souls, glad that you had a Mudita moment with the lady tenor.
ReplyDeleteStrange but at this moment I though that a Leader not a Follower would make a good title for a chapter in a book.
I might listen to this every night ...comforting and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you ...
This is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnd Peter sounds about right?
XoXo
A beautiful song. The power of a good tight choir is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh my, so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and so soothing.
ReplyDeleteI needed something calming this morning. Thank you. I used to sing before I developed a jaw problem, and I really miss it. Come to think of it, the only thing I miss about my ex-husband is his singing voice, but I do know that he now sings in a male-voice-choir, and that's good. The world needs music makers.
ReplyDeleteOh to sing! So nice to get into your head and heart with the music, which makes the blathering bass even more frustrating.
