He Who Sings Frightens Away His Ills

One of the great joys in my life is singing in a choir.

I'm a rather shy singer unless I'm surrounded by other singers. I rarely sing in the car or the shower. In fact, the first actual choral music instruction I've had was January of this year.

Craig has been singing in the University of Utah A Cappella Choir for a few years and we decided to join a local community choir called the Salt Lake Choral Artists.

What an amazing experience. We rehearse on Tuesdays and just recently completed our final concert of the year. We did Felix Mendelssohn's oratorio Elijah.

I've always loved choral music and consider it one of the greatest blessings of my life to participate in this choir. It is quite remarkable when something so fulfilling comes unexpectedly into your life.
