The Bible and Music

On Saturday night, I attended the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir concert in Schrott. I also listened to the lecture before the concert. It helped a lot because I knew nothing before hand. I thought it was really interesting and it helped me understand the concert.

I really enjoyed the concert. I liked that they incorporated English and Latin, psalms and poetry by Walt Whitman. I have never heard music quite like this before. There were so many voices and instruments, yet they were all harmonious together. I enjoyed following along in the program since I do not understand Latin. The concert was much shorter than I expected and the songs really flowed and told a story. I enjoyed hearing the psalms this way. It was very different than what I have heard in the traditional sense.
