In less than one week, I'll be in Pittsburgh, PA, for the Church Music Association of America's Colloquium XX. It promises to be a week of musical heaven.

I received a partial list of music that I will be singing in the choirs I have signed up for. Included in this list is a lovely polyphonic piece by Thomas Tallis entitled, "If Ye Love Me."

"If ye love me, keep my commandments, and I will pray to the Father, and he shall give you another comforter, that he may bide with you for ever, ev'n the spirit of truth."

Lyric: John 14, 15-17

Music: Thomas Tallis

     I cannot tell you how much I look forward to singing this piece next week. In the meantime, the laundry must be done and the bags must be packed.

Until next time,

Adam W.
