For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: dead.
We sing for birth and death and loss and joy and work and to comfort each other and for harmony. May all the world dissolve in music.
I am in RainShadow Chorale. My father was one of the people who started it in 1997. I moved to Port Townsend in 2000, because my mother had cancer. She died in May of 2000. My father died in 2013. I had the joy of singing with him in this group for 13 years.
Our concert is weekend after next and I really love this one. We are doing a wild mix of pieces and moods with the theme from a Walt Whitman poem. In this time of so many people being afraid and angry and stirred up, going to chorus is healing. All of these people, unpaid, coming together to create these two concerts of beauty and unity and joy. A gift to each other and a gift to the community.
