Sing, sing, and more singing
Serendipity
My favourite note is a C sharp, and I love to play in 3 sharps, do not ask me why? It makes me say it is the wonder of music. Take St. Clements, music linked to The day thou gavest Lord is ended.
Last month I shared with you some wonders of music,
very much akin to that of course is singing, in the bath or in church. When Pope John, Wojyla Jozef Wojtyla, came to England in the 1980s, I remember very clearly two things, a) He kissed the ground. b) He said it was important to pray but doubly important to sing. I agree with this to a certain point, but would say both are very important between God and our selves. Another fact that
I find mystifying - is, the composer Brahms was an atheist but all words from the text of his Requiem are direct from the Bible?
I only sing in the bath, Mary! this is so, sadly not every one can sing, I for one would be very sad if I could not sing it is also a gift from the almighty. During Covid, the viewing figures of Songs of Praise went very high. This to me shows the power of the human voice.
"Music is the utterance of words or sound in tuneful succession", bringing joy, happiness, to many.
For so many of us singing began in Sunday School and school. From these beginnings, many of use have gone on to sing in a choir, choral society. It can heal our heart and soul or have you ever had a tune in your brain for days. Remember to sing up in church, it makes you feel so good.
My kindest regards to everyone. Mary
PS Get busy with all that pruning in the front and the back!! Always happy to recommend what you should be up to.
