Incongruity

...

This was in St. Paul tonight.

Across the street from the Xcel Center in the Landmark Center was another concert. The one my husband and I attended, the Master's Chorale.

No two concerts could be more different.

I can only imagine Lady Gaga. The chorale was a nice group of sharp young people on tour from their college in California. At least half of them had never been to Minnesota before.

They chose some "old chestnuts," as our own choir director like to say, and some lovely hymn arrangements.

The treasure of the evening was when the director, Paul T. Plew, sent the choir members up into the medieval-looking balconies above the atrium to sing "You are the Light." The sound was heavenly, and the piece so sweet.

You are the Light

What an angelically beautiful way to end a lovely musical moment.

Well done, Master's Chorale!
