With the upcoming God and Country presentation that the worship choir will be presenting on July 1, I have been asked to do a solo (or two). While it is not a solo-solo (where I would be the only one singing) since the choir will be backing me up, it will be the first time in many, many years that I have truly sung by myself and not as a part of the larger group.
In addition, I have also dedicated myself to preparing and performing a song at least once a quarter. God has blessed me with the gift of music and by only utilizing my instrumental abilities, I am not using the whole talent I have been given to His fullest glory. The first song I am working on (in addition to the solo mentioned above) is Angels Wish by Steven Curtis Chapman.
Another thing that occurred to me as I am starting to sing again is that in high school chorus, I was a low baritone and made regional chorus two years in a row as a bass. The songs I am doing now are most definitely in the mid to high tenor range and I have very little difficulty, if any, reaching all of the notes without straining (as long as I am able to provide the diaphragmatic support necessary). However, you certainly couldn't tell from my speaking voice that I am able to reach all of the notes that I can.
