What Singing's About, Part 3

I was moved by what can most purely be described as Love. I could use other words like grace and radiance, and others still, which don't rightly belong together, such as joy and stillness; but, fundamentally, the experience was one of profoundly, magically, and beautifully revealed love. What I heard and saw and felt was to me, the greatest expression of what we humans can render here on earth: a gift that transcends space and time, and opens the heart and mind to the possibilities of what we can share with one another in the here and now.

In this human realm, our mystics and mysteries herald from the Elysian fields of Science and Art. In the world of Art, voyeurs like me can deconstruct the tools of creative industry, but only a true artist can produce a work that inspires unearthly wonder. I have felt this wonder in reading certain poems, and in sharing them aloud with others. There is a tremendous power in this kind of acoustic intimacy. But, this weekend, that same wondrous sensation went "electric."

Electric may seem a very odd way of describing the concert that I heard on Saturday at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in San Francisco, but it was in fact electrifying. If you have never heard the Volti vocal ensemble perform, heal thyself and explore Volti. What these professional vocalists achieve in sound is to the ear what Auguste Rodin's sculpture is to the eye. Whether the best metaphor is clay or bronze or just notes on a page, there's no question that it was the material with which they had to work, which lifted their voices and their audience out of this world....

I suspect there wasn't a soul in that church who didn't feel transformed by the music. It shone through the faces of the singers themselves and of all those listening. It was love—the simplest and purest expression of the need to touch the lives of others—that shone forth.

It is really different when you hear someone singing with love. The simplest and purest expression that touches our heart.

find it difficult to detach myself from my own workings within the space. Being part of media makes it difficult to not critique it.

The voice of a church choir is what they said a voice of an angel and i believe on that:) Even they sing a high notes and all for God you will surely feel their voice when you close your eyes. . .

There's something stealthily sexy about a day dress. Perhaps it's because the day dress is so unabashedly feminine. Perhaps it's because the silhouette is so different from the normal uniform of jeans and drapy tees. Perhaps it's because these dresses are cut to celebrate the real female form (you know - the one with curves).
