Robert Shaw understood the unique *re*creative aspect of our choral art. The choir 're-sounds' the score's story for the listeners. We literally become the 'voice' of that poet and composer. Humbling and a very sacred thing to be the 'story-bearers.' ♥ “It is the nature of music, unlike painting and most of literature, that its final creation is not its original creation. Music needs to be sounded, to be sung. It needs to be heard. In this sense, the composer literally must leave his/her work to be finished by others. Namely us. Can you imagine Michelangelo asking us to come in and help him finish the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel?”
