The newest news is that we (that is, the Dresden Cathedral choir) joined the choirboys and orchestra today to sing Missa X (Carl Gottlieb Reissiger) for Christ the King. It was beautiful. It was also on German TV, so there were cameras everywhere, including one on a crane, and considering that we're not allowed to look into them, it was highly unnerving to keep discovering them in new spots right when your eyes happened to stray over there. I was pretty nervous about it, but it came off alright, and I'm glad -- when we got home, Lenard greeted me with, : "Elizabeth, guess who was most often on the screen during Mass?" I thought he was just teasing, but apparently, Janis (the eldest boy) and I were in the camerapeople's favorite spot.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun and I'm glad it's over. Now I just have to work on the Seydelmann Mass, or whatever that fellow's name is, which we are singing for Christmas.
