Faustus quirked a smile at her rebuttle. Though he knew she had a passion for music, it was this that really confirmed her thoughts. She had a point. One lone voice in what should be a great chorus of voices echoing throughout the building was a poor example of what a powerful song could be. And yet, it also occurred to him that this might have been the most he'd heard her speak in quite some time, never mind the fact that he'd only known Miss Skovgaard for nary a month.
He decided he liked it, and would quite be interested in hearing more.
So, despite the fact that he quite agreed wit her, he found himself inquiring, "Would it?" It was not a challenge, but moreso a thought. Of course, Hallelujah was meant to be sung in an entire chorus, weaving a story for the entire audience to see; so vivid one might be able to see the chorus of angels dancing upon the sound of the chorus. "Or would the presence of one lone voice in the beginning prove to be such a striking contrast?"
He could envision it starting out as one voice, something that would surely take the audience by surprise. But given its position in the Messiah, just before Part III, it might prove to be a stunning contrast. "Instead of one choir of angels, perhaps a director wants to build the sense of victory - the sense of glory and make the audience feel it too. One voice becomes two, and two become three and so on and so forth. Until finally the full might of the choir finally hits in the crescendo."
He was certainly no conductor, nor a musical genius, but he was intrigued to hear her thoughts on the setting he'd just built for her to critique, and he peered at her with an inquisitive gaze, searching her reaction.
