This week marked Higher Ground’s first rehearsal after the summer break. Returning after a few months away from choir, I felt a renewed appreciation for the fact that I get to spend my Tuesday evenings with this wonderful group of people. And as our accompanist Julian Pattison began to play the first few notes of our warm-up on the piano, I thought about the important role an accompanist plays in a choir and specifically the important role Julian plays in Higher Ground.
My life’s soundtrack
Today, I heard my heels hit the pavement for a bar of silence and I realized they were tapping out the beat like a metronome. From September through May, Higher Ground sings the soundtrack of my life.
