Singing harmony

A harmony can be the more challenging part to sing. By design, it’s not the well-known lead. It’s an intentionally supportive role.

There are times when the spotlight is wide — when equal attention is given to both parts (Indigo Girls and Simon & Garfunkel, at times). But more often, the harmony is secondary.

Yet the richness that harmony adds — it’s a beautiful tool of elevation.

For those who sing the harmony (cue the metaphor) it’s for the love of what’s created, not for the love of the spotlight.

The harmony doesn’t garner the same credit as the melody, but it was never about the credit anyway.
