Hello Synger, I hoped you were really one as some of the best fellowship and giggles we had were at the piano in the backroom, solo's duets, trios quartet and sextet a group of women, sisters in the Lord having a fantastic time rehearsing. So your name alone brought a huge smile to my face at the memories. someone gave me a piano and I go there and "speak" with the notes, composing by chatting using the keys, from time to time.
You say you are soprano I was in the Alto area, and if I could stop giggling from the sheer joy of the company we learned many wonderful songs.. ok I'll take a pew from this meander down memory lane but leave with a warm heart and smile. God bless your singing. Hi from Scotland.. jean.

Reason: fingers flew..brain followed!
What sort of questions are you up for Synger? (Warning: I can be rather random)
~Steffi
I am up for just about any questions, random or otherwise. *grins* Though I don't promise that my answers won't be just as random!

The trouble is that when we are truthful, the answer must always be "No." So let's ask the question a different way.
Has Jesus given everything for you? Has he dedicated his whole life to you? Has he invited you into his heart? And the answer to that is a glorious and gracious and conscious, freeing, comforting YES!

Ah, how lovely! I can barely play the piano, but I know enough to learn my songs. I love harmony. I'm the one in the church who sings the alto part for the first three verses of a hymn, and then on the final verse pops it up an octave to become a descant above the soprano/melody part that the congregation is singing.
When I was in college, I was active in a campus youth group and we'd sing when we had our weekly worship together. It was my introduction to so-called "praise songs" (though I firmly believe that hymns are praise songs, too), and they were very easy to harmonize with. I'd find a harmony and sing it, and a couple other folks would sing along. In a few weeks, they'd know the part I'd created... so I'd jump up or down a third and make a new harmony. Someone else would join me and learn that one... and I'd go on to find another. By the end of the school year we were singing in six-part harmony. It was a glorious way to worship!!

That lovely impromtu harmonising. wow. We were all at a christian convention at Butlins, and you should have seen the shock on the faces of the Butlins staff when over 2,000 people began to sing, like you said, just joining in coming like colours of a rainbow all blending together. They told us that they dreaded us coming as a Religious Week, oh dear, they were singing and swaying themselves after a day or two. Today I love to hear "HereI am To Worship" "I Can Only Imagine" and "What do I have if I donot have you Jesus" (donot know if that is the title or the frist line..I think Chris Tomlin sings this) You draw a picture with words.. anyone for a heavely ho down of harmony? Wouldnot that be great?
That would be amazing!! I have been looking into Sacred Harp singing in my area, which is acapella harmonization. There is a singing that happens each month about an hour from me, and I'm hoping to go one of these months.
I think that music and song are a great gift that God has given us, and I'm very happy to be part of a very musical Christian tradition. I think of it as a small taste of heaven, and I cannot help but smile.

I am doing very well today. Allergies are not quite as bad as they have been. My knees are beginning to ache already, which means that I'll need to consciously get up from the computer every 45 minutes or so, or I'll be in a lot of pain this evening.
I have two types of "normal days"... one when I go into the office (3 days a week) and one when I work from home (2 days a week).
On office days, I get up and dressed, put on my ID badge, throw my breakfast, lunch, and phone into my bag (waiting by the door), and drive to Metro, where I take the train into the city. I am a webmaster at my job, so I am on the computer most of the day. I review web pages, do analysis of process and procedures, attend meetings, and in between times I try to do ten-minutes-here, ten-minutes-there of work on CF. The commute home is an hour and a half. My husband, who works part-time and picks our daughter up after school, often has dinner ready or almost ready when i get home. If not, I pour a glass of wine and begin to cook. We keep a lot of basic staples on hand for quick meals, so it usually only takes about 30 minutes (if we start with a clean kitchen, which isn't always the case).
Evening is usually swimming (we have a small above-ground pool), watching TV and knitting (history and science are our fave types of shows), or on the computer. I try to do at least 20 minutes on the elliptical. Then storytime with Gem (our 7 yo), and she's off to bed with Dad.
On at-home days, it's pretty much the same, except without the commute. I do the same work, answer the same questions, attend a few meetings via phone and computer. But I'm home when Gem gets home from school at 3:30. I stop working at 4, so I have more evening time with them, which is a real blessing.
Weekends are usually errands, cookouts, gaming (we have some friends who come over for role-playing games twice a month), church, visits with in-laws, gardening, etc. It's more flexible than 'normal days".
