Heavenly Voices with a Modern Touch


I was told that I need an outlet for my strong emotions. I need to find a way to let it out without hurting others or myself. I used to have that outlet--same as the heavenly voices I heard from a video on Youtube that my sister was playing. Turns out that the young singing voices came from a group called Scala and Kolacny Brothers.

Scala & Kolacny Brothers is a Belgian women's choir, conducted by Stijn Kolacny and arranged and accompanied by Steven Kolacny on the piano. Formed in 1996 and winning the Belgian 'Choir of the Year'-contest in 2000, they have made five studio albums, starting with On The Rocks in 2002, in multiple languages.  via Wikipedia

"With or Without You" is one of my favorite U2 songs. Scala's rendition was so good that it gave me goose bumps. The young girls sang so soothingly that it's truly a choir that's worth listening to for relaxation and entertainment. Here's a video of the choir. The girls' innocent looks and laughing reminded me of the time when I was part of the choir. Once you sing in a group and have gone to tours with them, the joy of singing extends to the joy of friendship. Don’t get me wrong though--singing in a choir requires discipline too. But the reward is simply priceless!
