This seems the perfect time to start blogging again, lest I "pave the road to hell," etc. etc. 2012 sure was interesting, but I'm ready for a fresh start - or as Anne Shirley might say: "Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?" The retrospective will have to wait.
I've been rehearsing Bob Chilcott's "Requiem" and Morten Lauridsen's "Lux Aeterna" - two of the most gorgeous pieces I've ever sung - with the Brattleboro Concert Choir under the direction of Susan Dedell. (Attend our concerts on the 12th and 13th if you're nearby and thus inclined). Re-joining this amazing community and singing these pieces has been an experience of faith and light - "lux" - learning to let go.
Part I, Morten Lauridsen's "Lux Aeterna"
"All is well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well"
