The countdown to Christmas begins...






Yesterday was a very exciting day!  Not only was it Christ the King Sunday, but also the Commemoration of Founders and Benefactors of Durham Cathedral.  This was a huge service with many important officials.  The Preacher was the Archbishop of York.  The head producer from the BBC Choral Evensong was also there and I got to meet him!

The weekend was also filled with big events:  a wedding for a former organ scholar, the Feast of St. Cecilia (we did Britten: Hymn to St. Cecilia), and the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Durham Cathedral Choir Association.

This weekend begins Advent with the Advent Procession on Saturday and Sunday.  Then the real fun is upon us!  There is a carol service of some sort in the cathedral EVERYDAY during December.  I'm playing about 8 of them.

Today is my day off.  Got lots of work to do to get ahead!  Oh, must not forget- it snowed yesterday!
