Angels On Earth

Angels sang on Easter morning in the Holy Spirit Cathedral. Their voices were beautiful, floating light yet powerful above the congregation and lends a heavenly touch to the celebration.

The HSC Choir did a marvellous job indeed. But then, we always come through every single time, if the compliments and accolades from fellow parishioners are any indication.

Amen!

I’ve been in this choir for 14 years already. Wow! Time really flies. It seems like only yesterday that I was a newbie sitting behind the choir. Now I’ve made my way to the front.

I’m glad I didn’t join in the singing for this Easter. Work commitment and activities for WBDD means that I have to miss out on most practice sessions. This has given me the opportunity to really hear the choir.

Funny huh, after all this time in the choir, I’m only really hearing them sing for the first time. When you’re right there in the middle, you’re not getting the picture of what the group sounds like, the harmonies of voices and how powerful the combined effect is.

I must say, I was impressed. We can easily rival any world class choir out there. Bravo, guys!

If people complained before that they can’t hear the sopranos, this will shut them up. Their voices were beautiful and light, not overpowering at all. The men balanced out the ladies perfectly.

I may not be singing as part of the choir this time, but rest assured, I was singing with you throughout.

The choir is taking a break for now, but we will start practicing for Christmas soon. I will return to the fold then.
