Choir Concert

Not mine -- Concert Choir and Chamber Singers -- and it was fabulous!!!  Loved every minute of it, especially a beautiful, modern and harmonically cool "Salve Regina," which started with ... tone clusters? or whatever the choral equivalent is.  Started with two clashing notes, then added more... and more... higher and higher... the effect was a wave of sound that just - oh - goose-bumps - I guess this is where the expression "words fail me" comes in.  (It's so hard to describe music, because if our words about it were really all that it was, then there would be no point in making music.)  And they closed with a really fun arrangement of "Down to The River to Pray": perfect ending. :D

Guess I kind of like music...
