OMG, I SO WISH I COULD COME HEAR THIS.

I mean, I wish I could be singing it, too, but I wouldn't want to give up the three programs left for the season with Young New Yorkers' Chorus: a new Symphony by Mohammed Fairouz in February, a concert of JS Bach and Arvo Part in March, and Carmina Burana in June.... So I reckon I can't pick up so much other music as well. Plus the flights from Chicago to NYC late every Monday night would kill me dead.

Still, your concert looks so amazingly exciting! Give love to everyone (James, Rani, Jill, etc.) for me!

we're doing bach and arvo part, too!

james and rani are both not there this quarter, but i'll certainly tell jill!

Oh, this sounds delightful! I wish it were happening less than 1,000 miles from me.

I recognize three of these selections (Sicut Cervus, Bogoroditse Devo, and Adonai Ro`i) as songs we've sung in my church choir.

Re: Adonai Ro`i: fiddle with a vowels a bit and the first line becomes "Adonai ra`i la akhsar", Arabic for "Adonai is my shepherd; I shall not lose."

It still looks like an awesome lineup that makes me think about flying out there, since I'll have the Monday off!

I pointed a friend of mine from England who'll be in Chicago that weekend to this entry. Hope that's ok.
