From Denver to Chicago

The last two weeks have been frenzied!  But entertaining - and this week promises to be best of all.

First, there was a quick trip to Denver that included a ride to the top of Pike's Peak on the cog railway, as well as time in the remarkable gardens of Denver and Littleton and the fantastic Colonial Spanish art collection of the Denver Art Museum.

Run home (well, fly).

St. Augustine Schola Cantorae Vespers at the Shrine (standing room only) for the Blessed Virgin. The usual weekend music included two weddings - one with chant for the Ordinary of the Mass.

Now it's the CMAA Colloquium in Chicago at Loyola University.  Surrounded by 250 or so like-minded lovers of chant and polyphony, a fantastic faculty, a chance to sing without being in charge and to soak up wisdom and good company.

That's all for now.  Time to starting singing.
