    I am in choir for 4 months after years of brain damage. It is healing part of my mind somehow- it makes me so peaceful and content. Now Im learning there is scientific evidence for that.

      It's wonderful that you're finding singing in a choir to be so beneficial for you. Our best wishes as you continue to heal.

      It's a fact that music benefits the brain. Music practice in the morning has been shown to increase brain health. Singing builds the immune system. But don't disregard the astonishing effects of plant treatments. Ginko biloba in the morning and turmeric combined with black pepper. Ginsing, a quality type. If your serious about it . . Kind regards

    Don't you just love this man for his music AND his wisdom! I do, thank you for the music. My life never was complete without a choir (preferably more than one), and still as a choral conductor I feel the longing to sing in harmony with other singers.

    My Church Choir allowed me to sing with them although I was a very weak voice link in the chain. But my heart and soul was full out singing.

    My best days as a high school principal was going to the choir room and sing with my students after school. It was wonderful! I can only say a big amen to this outstanding musician.

    Choir singing definitely add a beauty to a worship service. Remember one story,while on earth,one man enjoyed very much that particular choir singing.So,he requested God & God granted him to hear their voices from above.After sometime,he asked God,"Why am i hearing only one voice?"God answered,yes, my son,"That is the only one voice praises me truly from his/her heart".

    I so agree about it being a community showing, & sharing one heart. I love to hear the children in our school choir, it brings them joy, & I am in 3 choirs. It brings light, sound, rhythm & soul, teamwork, selflessness. It's hard work most times but I would hate to have Christmas without my choir, it really makes my Christmas. There are times in the year when our church choirs are on hold, that's why I joined Natural Voices, local people that love to sing. We had our 1st performance this week & it went well.

    Edward Baugh's "It Was the Singing":
    It was the singing, girl, the singing, it was that
    that full my throat and blind my eye
    with sunlight. Parson preach good, and didn’t
    give we no long-metre that day
    and Judge Hackett make us laugh to hear
    how from schooldays Gertie was a rebel
    and everybody proud how Sharon talk
    strong about her mother and hold her tears.
    But the singing was sermon and lesson and eulogy
    and more, and it was only when we raise
    “How Great Thou Art” that I really feel
    the sadness and the glory, wave after wave.
    Daddy Walters draw a bass from somewhere
    we never hear him go before, and Maisie
    lift a descant and nobody ask her,
    but it was the gift they bring, it was
    what they had to give and greater
    than the paper money overflowing the collection
    plate. It was then I know we was people
    together, never mind the bad-minded and the carry-down
    and I even find it in my heart to forgive
    that ungrateful Agnes for everything she do me
    and I sing and the feelings swelling in my chest
    till I had to stop and swallow hard.
    Then sings my soul, my saviour God to thee,
    How great thou art, how great thou art…
    and we was girls again together, Gertie
    and me by the river, and then the singing
    was like a wide water and Gertie laughing
    and waving to me from the other side.
    Girl, I can’t too well describe it.
    Was like the singing was bigger than all of we
    and making us better than we think we could be,
    and all I asking you, girl, is when
    my time come to go, don’t worry
    make no fuss bout pretty coffin
    and no long eulogy, just a quiet place
    where gunman and drug addict don’t haunt,
    and if they sing me home like how they sing Gertie
    I say thank you Jesus, my soul will sleep in peace.
    from It Was the Singing, Kingston, Jamaica: Sandberry Press, 2000. 36-37.

      Música coral não é um simples adorno da vida. É algo que toca ao coração, à nossa humanidade, ao nosso senso de comunidade, e às nossas almas. Quando se canta, expressa-se o que vai na alma. E quando no reunimos com um grupo de outros cantores, torna-se mais do que a soma das partes. Todas essas pessoas estão derramando os seus corações e as suas almas em perfeita harmonia. Que é uma espécie de emblema para o que precisamos neste mundo, quando grande parte do mundo está em desacordo ... que apenas para expressar, em termos simbólicos, o que é como quando os seres humanos estão em harmonia. Isso é uma lição para os nossos tempos. Eu acredito profundamente.
      Mas, mesmo se um coro não é o maior do mundo, o facto de que eles estão reunidos tem um valor social. Tem um valor comum. E eu sempre digo que uma igreja, ou escola ou comunidade sem um coral é como um corpo sem alma. Nós temos que ter uma alma em nossas vidas. E todo mundo me diz, que tem cantado em coro, que se sentem melhor por fazê-lo. Que todas as preocupações do dia, depois da escola ou de um longo dia de trabalho, que de alguma forma ficam à porta. E quando você está sentado ou em pé lá, fazendo música por algumas horas no final do dia, que é a única coisa que importa no momento. E você vai embora refrescado. Você caminha para longe renovado. E isso é um valor que vai um pouco além da música em si.
      Claro que, como um músico, eu coloquei a música no coração de tudo, mas todos estes valores apenas se destaca como um farol. Eu acho que os nossos políticos precisam tomar nota! E os nossos educadores, aqueles que decidem os orçamentos da educação, orçamentos da igreja, só precisa se lembrar que a música coral não é um simples adorno. É como um grande carvalho que se eleva a partir do centro da raça humana e espalha os seus ramos em todos os lugares. Isso é o que a música faz por nós. E música coral deve ficar como um dos exemplos supremos de ele ".
