bearberries answered your question: So I'm curious.

From my few, precious years in choir, I learned from the various teachers and conductor that in whatever we play - we bless others through it

So true! As musicians we're often trained to disregard the audience in a way, because what we do takes such intense focus. But in the end, there's not much point without the crowd, is there?  The choral director I studied under in college has incredible taste in literature--everything she programs is fantastic, even the crowd-pleasing stuff that many of us were usually less-than-excited about singing.

The world's arid desert

 Atacama Desert is an amazing place - renowned as the driest place on earth it conjures up images of a desolate barren wilderness. As of course much of it is, but it is also a land of great natural beauty and fascinating human history. Such period of its colorful history, it was nitrate boom, which resulted in the British ghost towns, which still stands, arrogant Victorian in uninhabited parts of the desert where it never rains. Nitrates started first commercialized in 1860 when the Atacama desert belonged to Peru and Bolivia. But in 1878 a dispute between Chile and Bolivia over the export licenses resulted in Chile sends troops to the region to protect the child. There was war with Peru to join the side of Bolivia. The result of the ensuing five-year war was that Chile remained in possession of the Atacama and nitrates. Nitrates were much in demand in Europe and North America as a raw material for fertilizer and the production of explosives. After the war, British companies are pouring capital into the Chilean nitrate industry and took control of almost all the nitrate production. During this boom towns grew up around the nitrate plants. The best preserved of these cities is Humberstone, was built in 1862 and named after a later owner, James Humberstone. It is located inland from the city of Iquique in an area called Pampa - a plateau between the coastal mountains and the Andes. Humberstone, like the other cities nitrate, is a ghost town. The invention of a synthetic method to produce ammonium nitrate killed booming business of as quickly as it had appeared. Walking through the deserted streets of Humberstone and you get the sense that its inhabitants fled a major natural disaster. Everything is as it was then, only age of the harsh sun and cold nights. There is a church, a theater, the humble dwellings of the workers, the great houses of the managers and the processing plant. The only sound is the dry Atacama desert wind blows through the long empty streets relentlessly back this Victorian relic to the desert.
