A BRIGHT SOUND ON A BRIGHT DAY.

On this beautiful spring morning, we opened to the harp music of Alison Kinnaird, slowly limbering up the joints till we had a good posture for singing.
With several members doing other things today our sound was smaller but ARE WE GETTING INTO HARMONY! ----- We are harmonising the WATERWHEEL in a good, relaxed way as well as learning to harmonise the final chord in a unison song, choosing our own notes.
The bonus of being a smaller number is that we have more opportunities on our 8 instruments and there truly was a bright and fresh sound today as we learned the lower line of our instrumental piece, finally putting the two parts together. This hydrant is a good metaphor for our sound --- bright and shiny outside and high pressure underneath!
