Heart to Heart

We are one week out today....a week from tomorrow we will board our bus for our two week tour of Texas and Oklahoma.  And today we were "finessing".  Someone once said "music is the international language that communicates heart to heart"  Isn't that true?  Do you have to find words to express that chord that makes your spine tingle?  Or that hush of a triple piano dynamic on the text "see if there is any sorrow like unto my sorrow".  Don't we all feel it?  I felt it today -and it isn't because we're just so amazing.  It's what happens when a group of people come together with their differing opinions and commit to expressing what the composer intended - and what the words inspired him to intend.  The language that communicates heart to heart...
