Perfect Harmony

What an extraordinary treat was in store for us and all we had to do was walk 5 minutes to the local church.  The internationally renown Hungarian girls' choir Cantemus sang for an unforgettable hour. They were en route to a choral competition in Spain. Lucky for us, they have connections to Anne and Francis, the owners of La maison verte, where they broke their journey for the night.

Here's a stock photo; I didn't have a camera. The age range is 11-16. One voice starts them off, then they file into the church singing in heavenly harmonies. Their joy, tuning, discipline, and vocal quality is sublime. They sing in various formations, sometimes surrounding you. This is goose bump inducing, you experience the glorious harmonics from within the chord. Each voice is beautiful, yet blends perfectly with the other 49. They finish the way they began, walking and singing, the last voice trailing away as they exit the church, leaving not a dry eye in the house.
