After Master Chorus Eastside’s recent Christmas concerts,
which featured compositions by Northwest composers, several of them quite
demanding, I asked if any of our singers would be willing to write down their
thoughts about the experience for our blog.
One member responded with a creative combination of words and pictures, in the style of a graphic novel, that perfectly captured the experience.
Here is what he put together.

Here are a
few pictures worth a thousand words
Our director
says we are going to do some pieces by Northwest composers, and it
promises to be a mountaintop experience.
When
studying the pieces I notice a degree of difficulty, for me as a singer, to be overcome.
I then find
other points that require my focused time and effort to get
right.
I begin to
wonder if I can sing these pieces successfully
I ask a
higher power for help with this task.
I begin to
see the light at the end of the tunnel.
We finally perform the pieces.
We see the composers’ faces radiating success, like the sun through the
clouds
