教会に行く。
会社の同僚のDouglasさんが来てくれた。
午後は賛美礼拝に出席。
僕も少しは音楽の才能があればいいなあと思うが、
自分の喉を用いて歌を歌うという行為に関しては、
これまでの人生のあらゆる場面において、
いくら磨いてもダイヤモンドの原石のままでいるであろうということが、
実証されている。
賛美は歌のうまさが全てではないことは確かだが、
他の人の賛美の妨げになることだけはしてはいけないということも、
また確かなような気がする。
かくして、僕は自分の喉に諦めをつけ、
楽器を用いた賛美が望ましいと最近思っている。
ただ、音程のあるピアノ、ましてやバイオリンなどは、
モーツアルトかバッハに直接１００年ぐらい教わらないと上手くならないことが
示唆されるゆえ、
音程の関係ないドラムに最近興味を抱いている。
I went to church.
A colleague from work, Douglas, came to visit today.
I attended the worship service in the afternoon.
I really wish I had some talent in music.
When it comes to singing,
I have proved myself at various circumstances
that my chances of becoming an opera star is rather small, if not nil.
I do acknowledge, as a Christian,
that hitting the right note is not the most important thing,
as it is more about worshipping God,
however, I do also think it is important not to distract
other members of the church during a worship with my rather off-tone voice.
Hence I have come to a conclusion to give up singing,
and resort to other measures which has nothing to do with
my physical abilities such as the shape of my throat or the
dimension of my lungs.
This I call musical instruments.
This is an unproven, untested area of my life.
I have a hunch,
that learning piano or violin, which requires a high accuracy
in reading the musical notes, takes a lot of time,
and a good coach such as Mozart of Bach.
This is why I have recently become very interested in drums.
Because drums has nothing to do with music in my opinion.
