The community choir began its first online rehearsal.
Everyone sang at a different speed because of the internet delay.
The conductor muted all the microphones and the song became perfect.
One singer asked, How will you hear our improvement?….
The conductor said he could see enthusiasm, which was safer than hearing it.
He played the piano while twenty silent faces moved at different times on the screen. One singer finished each line before another had opened his mouth.
The conductor unmuted them for a test. The first note arrived in five versions. A dog barked in the middle. Someone’s kettle joined on a high note.
He muted everyone again and praised the sudden harmony.
At the end, the choir president asked how they would prepare for the annual concert.
The conductor said they had already found their strongest arrangement.
Each singer would appear in a neat square. He would play the music. The audience could imagine the voices.
The president asked if that still counted as a choir.
The conductor pointed to the mute button.
It is our best singer, and it never misses rehearsal.
