Rehearsal

Last evening was our dress rehearsal for our concert which will be Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. We are performing choral pieces by Morton Lauridson (O Magnum Mysterium, Ubi Caritas, Prayer and Sure On This Shining Night), Norwegian composer Ola Gjello (Dark Night of the Soul,  Luminous Night of the Soul, and Serenity) and John Taverner (Svyati). We will be accompanied in all but two pieces by piano, string quartet, or cello, alone or in some combination.

My nephew Daniel and his friend, Andy, are arriving tomorrow for a visit. They will first be visiting Daniel's great-aunt, Hazel Nilson, in New London, NH, and we will meet them there. Hazel is 104 years old. I should be able to get some photos and post something about that.

Earlier today I cleaned up the upstairs bedroom and made a major trip to the landfill. It's always good to have company - you get things done you had long intended to do!
