Practicum post #4
On Ash Wednesday I watched the choir rehearse before the evening service. Wednesday is the normal practice day for the choir and they only meet once a week to practice together. I was amazed at how quickly the people all picked up their respective parts and became a beautiful complete sound.
There is something about that many people gathering together and making one voice.
Anyway, they practiced for about half an hour and were ready for the service. I asked Shiela Todd (the director) how it was so easy for them to nail down such an amount of music so quickly. She told me that each member of the choir rehearses on their own throughout the week in preparation for the Wednesday rehearsal.
I gues a lot more work goes into this than I thought.

I never thought of chior being that good for that reason, that it is a group of people comeing together in one voice. Kind of like the congregation.
