Thornton Wilder said, “We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” Singers Companye is one of our treasures. It is our communal experience that is at the heart of every phrase of music we utter. If we can become one with each other we elevate our ordered sounds to spiritual expression. In filling the space around us with our own energy, personalities and moods, we come closer to sharing with our listeners the essence and atmosphere of whatever music we are singing. In our singing community there is no gesture without meaning, no sound without purpose. In our work together, we strive to honor the intentions of the composers and poets whose works we are sharing with listeners, forever trying to become one voice in that effort. As we listen to our lives, perhaps all of us should try harder to find more effective ways to become one people in one world.
