My husband and I went to our granddaughter’s choir performance last weekend. Her college African choir Sydney is well-known for its quality, and the performance came up to expectations. When we arrived at the musical venue, people were waiting for the doors to open. We were concerned that the crowd would be small, but as the performance started, the majority of the seats were filled.
Written And Life Melodies Of Choirs
A guy seated three seats ahead of us drew my attention. He kept spinning around to face the crowd, dressed in dirty, scuffed boots and torn pants. Also, he was also dressed in a lightweight, old jacket, which made me worry whether he was homeless. He didn’t applaud at the conclusion of a piece as most people do, but instead placed his hands together twice and sat motionlessly. He kept doing this until the gospel choir Sydney started singing spirituals.
How It Starts
When the first spiritual started, he joined his hands together and lowered his head, as if in prayer. This he did with each spiritual. He lingered in his seat at the conclusion of the performance, seemed hesitant to go. The free Sunday afternoon music had drawn a large crowd of students, families, community members, and maybe some homeless individuals.
Family members sat close together, craning their necks to view their pupils. My husband and I could plainly see our granddaughter, and I could see she enjoyed singing in the African choir Sydney. Two little children sat behind us and were exceptionally well-behaved throughout the event, with no wriggling or chatting. As the music flowed about me, I remembered my late daughter and wished she could have joined us to hear her daughter perform.
Each person in the audience had their own song of life, whether they were a grandmother raising grandkids, like my husband and me, or a parent, teacher, colleague, or friend. Individual reactions to music are influenced by this variability.
Because I had perfect pitch, I was vividly aware of the notes that the gospel choir Sydney sang. I was also aware of some of the history behind the spirituals, which had an impact on me.
