Curnen knew this song well, even if she'd never quite heard it done this way, and her awkwardness melted away in an instant. The primary difference was the rhythm, though, so once she felt she understood she sang with him. It was simple at first, just the melody taken an octave up--she knew women who could sing tenor, and she was not one of them--but then taking advantage of her familiarity. Her voice was not one for grit, but she could harmonize in such a way as to create a similar effect, effortlessly dancing so close to the melody at times as to almost be discordant, but never slipping into something harsh or unpleasant.
There were many things to love about music, but the dance of voices around and through each other was far and away her favorite.
