Well its been a little while, I have been singing here, singing there and rehearsing, lots of rehearsing!!
I've been contemplating of late how privilidged I feel to be a singer and to share with others through music. The words we sing, the melodies, the way we share the story in our faces is a special way to connect emotionally. I have to say emotion is one of those things I have not been without this year as Im sure you are aware of and even in the last couple of weeks a new wave has been upon me. Not just sadness or pain but joy, happiness and assurance and its interesting how now when I sing certain songs I mean every word or suddenly I realise I have lived through that. It touches me afresh and although it can be painful singing what you know to be true in a way it heals, as talking about problems or issues brings healing. Music connects with people on a deep level, add to that meaningful words and we as the singer are sharing a story of ours or others lives and thats a responsibility.
Are there songs that you connect to? do they speak of a tough time in your life or a happy time? or do they just evoke memories?
I think for many Disney songs bring to mind memories of childhood, happiness, love, and fairytales. I know that my siblings and I grew up on the movies and wanting to be disney princesses and princes, knowing every word and encouraging our imagination. So it is a privilege to be putting on a concert that showcases many favourite disney songs and characters. Soul Factor Gospel Choir is putting on their next concert "Pure Imagintion: Disney, Dreams and Destiny" next Saturday 18th August 2012. There will be a matinee and a night show and along with some other favourite musicals it will be a feast of singing, dancing and colour that you wont want to miss. We are all having a ball rehearsing for it and are all looking forward to sharing. Go to Soul Factor's website to book tickets and for more information.
I would love to share this with you!
