Singing in Turrell’s Skyspace

https://worthcompare.com/f89e2guh82z On Monday the 28th of August I met up with choir leader Pip Wright who leads two choirs in Penzance: Levow an Bys, ‘World Voices’ in Cornish, and The Lime Tree Dawn Chorus, a morning choir who meet at Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens  in Gulval, near Penzance.

The acoustic in there is absolutely delicious; bright yet simultaneously dry and reverberant. Singing inside Turrell’s Skyspace is like singing inside a short, fat convex vase with its wide middle and narrow opening at the top. There is a seating ledge all around the sculpture’s interior and as you sing the sound fills the space before floating up where it thins, becoming focused and pure, before leaving through the Skyspace as a whisper of its former tonal self.

Much to their amusement, we went ahead and sang anyway, first tentatively and then with more clarity.

Later, Pip moved outside the sculpture, where you can walk up a slope, becoming level with the Skyspace hole. “Can you hear me?” I shouted, and then sang. Nothing. I asked the visitors inside if they might be willing to sing, or shout, whilst I joined Pip outside. A couple of children shouted “yes!” and I ran outside to catch their sound.

After a couple of minutes, Pip and I were still waiting, with disappointment. I had hoped that if a choir performance did take place in the Skyspace, our audience could listen from outside as the sound drifted up and out through the Skyspace hole. But eventually we did hear a long, lone, ‘ah’ from a beautiful tenor voice. On returning to the the sculpture we asked who the singer was and Paul came forward.

We entered into dialogue with Paul and he told us about his PhD research and expressed his concerns about his singing voice. “Your voice is beautiful now”, I said. “Leave the comparison of ‘then’ and accept your voice for what it is now”. We recommended that Paul joined a choir and Pip invited him to the Dawn Chorus the following Thursday.

I felt honoured that someone who felt disappointed with their vocal ability was comfortable singing with two strangers in the Skyspace sculpture on this rainy day. After ten minutes of improvised tonal sounds Paul quietly stood up and left. I lay down, looked up at the Skyspace, and Pip and I continued to sing. I am not a religious person – and I am resisting the urge to slap myself as I say this – but what I experienced felt primitive, spiritual and connected.

Later on in the week I received an email from Pip: “guess what? Our friend Paul showed up for Dawn Chorus this morning. Half way through the session he walked up and said “shall I teach my arrangement of ‘Steal Away’?” and a good moment was had by all”.
