We love to hear the performance of a quality solo singer. An individual voice can be entertaining and inspiring. But is there really any such thing as a solo? Even a performer seemingly standing alone is usually supported by the accompaniment of other singers or instrumentalists. And someone else probably wrote the music. The blending of their talents creates a resonant harmony.
A musical note by itself may be pleasing to hear, but a variety of tones, arranged properly, makes a harmony that cannot be matched by just one note.
A vocal chorus is a wonderful example of bringing together separate voices in a beautiful blend of harmony. Singers may come from a great diversity of life experiences, but when they unite under the direction of a conductor, their voices combine in a grand, harmonious sound.
Our individuality is important as we bring to the mix of life a variety of skills, interests, and abilities. But as we live together, supporting and assisting one another, contributing the best we have to offer, the sound of our daily existence will be one of peace and harmony. Then, like a great chorus, there will resonate through the world sweet tones of cooperation and community.
Again, we pose the question, is there really any such thing as a solo? No one stands completely alone. The more people we include in our circle of love and kindness, the more we acknowledge the contributions of others, the greater will be the harmony of our lives.
