I grew up in balconies, choir lofts and rehearsal halls. Throughout my childhood, my mother was either employed as an organist or choir director, so I spent many of my young hours staying quiet and unseen in the company of organ pipes and choir robes, listening to the music. And all these years later, though The Church and I have parted ways,

Since I have a voice like a screeching cat it would be wonderful to have a voice to just go in with strangers and make magic. It wounds like a beautiful memory. Nice use of the prompt, well done.

Wow, you're fast! Thanks for the kind words!

Oh my, I haven't heard "Jubilate Deo" in years. We sang it as part of a spring concert in college sophomore year, I think?

I'm sitting here speechless because that piece is transporting me in so many ways...

It's amazing, isn't it.

Music can transport us in ways nothing else can. Enjoy the trip. :)

This is why I've always had a deep love of music.

There is really nothing like it.

Thanks for reading!

I'm technically a soprano, but I would often leap at the chance to sing alto (and one memorable time in high school, tenor,) because those parts were so much more interesting. Given that I've played second and third clarinet most of my life, no one should be surprised.

So glad you had this experience!

Thanks for reading and commenting!

What an experience that must have been! My throat tightened up when you "realized you were crying." Even though I don't believe I have heard this piece before, you did a wonderful job of helping me imagine it. Bravo!

Thank you so much!
