Whew! I just arrived home from a weekend at 9,000+ feet above sea level with the Denver Gay Men's Chorus -- our annual fall retreat at Keystone Lodge (yes, the beer is named after this place....no, the place is not comparable in quality to the beer....thank goodness!). So, given the lofty elevation, I awoke both Saturday and Sunday mornings to freshly fallen snow! It was beautiful....
...And, since the repertoire we were rehearsing was for our December holiday concert, I'm finding myself in a holidaying mood. I know, I know, it's too early, but there are such good melodies and examples of chromaticism in all our holiday faves. Plus, at this point in my career, I'm sort of resigned to the fact that I will hate all holiday music by the time it's all over, so I had better enjoy it before every retail outlet, radio station, and TV commercial has its annual chance to ruin it. Besides, at least it's a good antidote to all of those ugly political ads!
