The concert had ended in euphoria,
We had sung our hearts out
And the joy of our singing
Was shown in the faces,
The faces of those who came,
Who came to watch,
And came to listen.
As the Choir left the stage
To rapturous applause
That euphoria came over me,
The glory of singing embedded
Embedded in my heart.
All was so well in my world,
Happiness was mine to behold.
That euphoria shone into the next day
As once more I sang,
Sang in Church with gusto.
The power of singing is overwhelming,
Overwhelmingly euphoric.

- Comment from author about the poem: The Community Choir, of which I am a founder member and former Chairman, sung at a concert last Saturday and it was a great success. We sung Bohemian Rhapsody at this concert, it was our first public performance of it and it went very well, so many kind remarks about it from the audience. The piece playing is the version we sang.

A euphoric write Gold! Wish it was always so - some places sound like they are singing dirges, and 'underwhelming'! But your experience is of a proper Choir.
Thank you Orchi, the Church Choir are singing an anthem at the Easter Service this morning, I am in that choir as well.
Erm, I doubt they will sing the end of my hymn-poem for today! heehee.
Giving pleasure to others is so rewarding - sounds as if this was such a success - well done Andy. And a great poem to record the event.
Thank you Michael, the consensus from the Choir was that it may have been the best we have ever sung - we are improving all the time.
love the Bohemian Rhapsody tune, one of my favorite bands growing up listening to their music. I've stood on many a stage myself to perform and, yeah, it brings the nerves into play most of the time. the reward though, as you say, euphoric in the 1st degree. well done, GoldFinch60.
Thank you Kevin, Queen were/are phenomenal band, their like will never be seen again.
totally agree with/
CONGRATULATIONS ANDY ~ Love Queen & Bohemian Rhapsody ~ Some of my deepest Spiritual experiences have been singing Stainers Crucifixion with a Large Choir ~ If singing be the Food of Life ~ Sing on ! We have many singers (and even Conductors !) in our extended Family. Thanks for all you musical contributions on this Site. Steve and yourself keep us all in tune ~ AMEN ~ Yours ~ BRIAN (Baritone !)
Thank you Brian. Yes I have sung Stainer's Crucifixion as well, wonderful piece of music. Singing in a Choir is wonderful.
Andy (Bass)
The great Russian Bass Feodor Chaliapin once remarked "A baritone is somewhere between a tenor and a man!"
sounds like a great place to be
It was Ron, singing in a choir is wondrous.
Such talent on this site! Next time you sing can you record and play for us?
You are most kind Lorna.
