Another Dimension

On Sunday we sang at First Presbyterian Church in Tyler, TX. Our program was different here and included the Howells' Requiem in the second half.  These texts which we are blessed to sing become quite personal at times. There were moments while singing the Requiem where I felt completely overcome with emotion...without any warning at all!  It was a reminder to me that there is always a spiritual dimension at work when we share sacred texts and the gift of music. By the same token we have a responsibility to try to live the words we sing, which feels daunting at times!  I had a sense that those who came to Sunday's concert were captivated by this beautiful music and it's message.  I am so grateful to have been a part of this exchange.
