Where words fail, music speaks. – Hans Christian Andersen.
Last night, I was privileged once again to go to my grandson’s Christmas concert at his school. I was impressed by the professionalism of those young singers as well as their talent. Beautiful voices.
The songs were old favorites, songs I knew and loved. Many of them were centuries old but their melodies and words have endured. From ancient times till now, people love to sing and Christmas calls out some of the best music written.
With the last song, Silent Night, and the youngsters holding candles, the combined voices of all the choirs filled the auditorium. I was in full agreement with Hans Christian Andersen that music speaks when we don’t have the words.
