Back at Fourth

Posted on August 6, 2006 By Tom No Comments on Back at Fourth
Music, Religion

I got a call from my friend Hank this week asking if I would help out in the bass section this Sunday.  The last time he called I was going to be in London, and I didn’t have that excuse this time.  Besides, I really like these folks, and I was looking forward to seeing them

It turned out a bit weirder than I thought.  Lewis Foster was conducting.  I had to resist walking up to the podium.  I took a couple of steps to prepare myself mentally – I didn’t wear a tie or jacket, and I took a seat on the back row.  Even so, I often caught myself using my "song leader" voice rather than blending, and had to resist conducting subtly to myself.  Lewis did a great job, but even so I had to resist the urge to "fix" things I heard.  This is why it’s never a good idea for choir directors to sing in someone else’s choir, especially a choir that one has directed recently.

I’m hearing great things about what Hank is doing.  Seeing my former choir made me a bit jealous of Hank, – I thoroughly love working with choirs.   But, I know I wouldn’t be able to follow through with everything the church needs given my current obligations.
