Choir from Heaven

A: Last Saturday night I had the delight of attending Kevin's chorale performance. It was called "Reconciliation" and was about peace in time of war. In spite of the politically correct theme, it was fantastic! And truthfully, I must admit that we all desire peace in time of war. Just, some of us see the "process" of obtaining peace differently. Anyway, the best piece of the evening was called Lux Aeterna. There was another Latin piece called something Donna something Pachem. And, there was a rendition of Oh God Our Help in Ages Past that was rather dissonant. It was combined with an electronic effect - basically a helicopter getting louder and louder. A girl sitting next to me became frightened and her dad had to take her out. But, overall, it was beautiful. The orchestra was awesome. The choir was outstanding. The funniest part was this little, wiry old woman singing tenor in the front row. She had a long gray pony tail and thick glasses. She was wearing a tux, instead of a dress, because she was in the guy's section. She seemed short and as thin as a rail. But, despite her small frame, she had PASSION. It was great to watch her facial expressions and body movements. She and the music were one.
