Choral Music // Musically Inclined.

"Ezekiel saw de wheel; way up in de air

And de littl' wheel run by faith, oh yes, an' de big wheel run by de grace of God

'Tis a wheel in de wheel in de middle of de wheel way Lawd in de middle."

 

Choir songs are fun and catchy and I have to sing them every God **** day.

They are all written by some funny looking black guy named James in the earl 1900's.

 

"John said the city was just four square, walk in Jerusalem just like John

and he declared he'd meet me there, walk in Jerusalem just like John,

Oh John oh John what do you say, walk in Jerusalem just like John."

 

Most of them are about God and faith but sometimes you actually feel them.

It's weird, they make you feel spiritual. A whole class full of students singing can do that to you.

 

"All this night shrill Shaunteclear, days proclaiming trumpeter,

claps his wings and loudly cries, "Mortals! Mortals! Wake and rise!

See the wonder days are under, and through his will good be done!""

 

Sometimes you don't even know what they're about, no kidding, but they still feel nice to sing.

The ringing of the Sopranos and the roar of the Baritones is awing, it really is.

 

"And the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells,

how the twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle,

in the crystal lime-de light."

 

It's cool when you sing poetry, like Poe or something like that. It doesn't give you the same

feeling but it's still cool, if you can get into that kind of stuff.
