to my fellow musicians.
i don't understand why people don't enjoy singing the same song more than once. sure, it may be the same configuration of ink on paper...but it's NEVER the same music. the song is new every time you sing it--even moreso each time you sing it with a new ensemble or director. the song changes with you. it's never the same...
...let the music change with you, and even let the music change you. don't think that a song must get boring the more it is sung. there should be new ways to rejoice through music every time it is made. let the music you make be as new as the day is.
i don't think many words are required on this subject, though i could provide them if that were necessary. please just enjoy the music you make. it is an art, given by a creative God to the similarly creative beings He put here on earth. so...yeah. enjoy it. :)

and you wonder at times why your major involves music!
Do you think a touring rock band that plays not only one song, but maybe 20 of the same songs per night for say, 180 nights would say the same thing?
i think that if i were going to be in a touring rock band that played the same songs every night for 180 nights, i'd make sure i could love it just as much every single night i played it. i think those are the people who make real music--and you can see it on their faces that they love every moment.
