Hearts Content

3 Jan

Summer rain
that day he came,
that day they met,

Letters sent
She wrote the text,
He wrote the music,
Hearts content.

Nearer now
Sweet love allows,
Sweet love exists,
I know not how.

WCMW: First Look!

As some of you might recall, Steve and I co-founded and co-directed the first Westminster Chamber Music Workshop last summer (recaps here and here). A week-long series of music events for the community alongside a chamber choir workshop for adult amateurs, we wrote a few grants, built a website, contacted the press, brought in guest [...]
The Music of Christmas

This week always seems to catch me by surprise. I mean, I know it’s coming. I’ve been planning for Christmas since July. And yet, here it is with its three service bulletins, special music, last-minute meetings, extra rehearsals, and the like. Yes, it’s a busy time but what a privilege it is to share music [...]
