The other day I was driving along the country roads near our home. I was listening to my Alto Messiah practice CD. I think I have my part down cold now. I was thinking about how I know when to come in. I don't count (not that I am aware of). I do listen to the other parts, but it's not like I am thinking "come in after the Basses". It's much more internal than that. I just know the music.
Then I started thinking about the country roads, and how driving them is similar to singing the Messiah. There are few if any road signs. (That drove me crazy when we first moved here.) But I know my way around. I don't think to myself "Turn right after the farm with the blue barn." I just know that I will know what to do when I get there. Just like singing the Messiah. I've internalized them both. Of course when I am going someplace new, or singing something new - I like to have a map!
