Songweavers are singing again! Yahoo! Every year, we take a break after our spring concert in mid-April, beginning again in
Songweavers warming up.
September. As summer turns the corner into another school year, I can feel my attention building toward the first rehearsal. When Tuesday night came, 80 women raised the roof of Concord Community Music School, the energy of each of us amplified by the others. The volcano building in me spilled over in song as we drummed, sang, laughed and rejoiced to be together again.
In Illuminations, a novel about Hildegaard von Bingen by Mary Shallott, Hildegaard says that singing is a symphony of the soul. Singing – together, alone, in praise, in grief, in tribute, in love – releases the spirit of our soul. The audible and felt vibrations of that connected sound electrify every cell in our bodies. No wonder Songweavers leave rehearsal smiling. As we sing our way home, we know we are one.
