Dr. Haygood asked me to forward this quote on to you...

VATICAN CITY, JUL 21, 2007 (VIS) - Yesterday afternoon, at the end
of a concert of mountain choirs offered in his honor by the diocese of
Belluno-Feltre at the castle of Mirabello (Italy), the Holy Father
gave a short address.

"Training in song, in choral singing, is not only an exercise of
external hearing
and the voice; it is also an education of the inner hearing, of the
heart's
hearing, an exercise and training in life and peace. In order to sing
together it is
necessary to pay attention to the other (...) to the totality that
we call music and culture and, in this way, singing in a choir is an
education in life and peace. It is a walking together."
