More responses from our singers and groupies...

So many favorites . . . where to begin? In the spiritual realm, my time at Canterbury left the deepest impression. As a convert to Anglicanism (rather than the "cradle" kind) I don't think I've ever so fully experienced our roots and my connection to them. Musically? The choir performed beautifully -- I almost soared with the sound as it re-sounded up and up and up into the dome of St. Pauls. And I was proud of the skill with which we introduced English listeners to some of our American spirituals. Fun and fellowship? Thanks to all the singers for sharing the fun with us non-singers. Educationally? I enjoyed learning more about English history than I ever have before in a scant 10-day period -- with a big tribute here to Tutor Susie. Oops! Douglas said to keep the paragraph brief . . .

St. Paul’s Cathedral was wonderful with all its history, the large crypt, the view at the top of the dome, the “whispering gallery” and the design of Christopher Wren. The choir room where we changed was inspiring. As we sang in the church, one could hear the echoes of the music. We sounded pretty good! And the lunchtime audience seemed to agree.

I loved hearing our magnificent sound in each Cathedral. Singing a floating high A in St. Paul's! Singing o-o-o with Laura at all venues! Feast of Architecture and History. Loved our Tour Guide, Susie Howe, with her British wit and love of history. At Oxford being on the movie set for Harry Potter. English Pubs! The Globe Theatre and As You Like It! Soho on a Saturday Night and The Jersey Boys!Tours of great Cathedrals. Enjoy the highest Choral Experience of my lifetime....to date! I am anticipating the announcement of our next European Tour! Thanks to everyone in our group for 10 Days of Life Moments!

My favorite part of the trip was singing "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need" at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. We sang it during our largest attended and best-sung performance. That song had special meaning for me this season because my brother and I performed it at our Grandmother's funeral in May. A week later, my brother had to sing it again at a funeral of a student of his who took his own life at age 18. Singing it at the St Paul's Cathedral concert reminded me not only of the family, friends, and congregation we left to go on our pilgrimage, but also of those who have left us all behind. Through music, we stay connected beyond time and space.
