UNITED FLIGHT 903 - WASHINGTON DULLES - 3:02 PM - THIS FRIDAY
I made a mistake. My flight DEPARTS Munich Friday at 11:35 AM (Munich time). It will ARRIVE at Washington Dulles at 3:02 PM (American time - on Friday August 1). It is United Flight 903. Terribly sorry! Entschuldigen Sie, bitte! I hope this will not be a problem. Incidentally, I cannot get at my e-mail. I am having a problem getting hotmail to open on my computer - have had the problem before in the States and, of course, it had to strike now. So - not being sure how often Michael checks my blog - would one of my Front Royal readers ask him to check my blog the night before? This is the only way I can convey information. I will then know for sure if my flight time has changed or not.

Incidentally, I arrived safely in Munich and am at the Hotel Europaeischer. It was a nice bus ride through Italy, Austria and finally Southern Germany. Wednesday will be the Mass at downtown St. Peter's Kirche. We sing the propers and do the Byrd Mass for 4 Voices. As with the last several Masses, I end up being the director since Fr. Skeris either celebrates or concelebrates. Am trying to pull my "special" Byrd interpretation out of the choristers - having some success. After that to Franz Xavier Witt's grave to ask for his special intercession for my choristers for the coming year. Finally on Thursday, the tour of Orlando Lassus' stomping grounds: the Imperial chapel where his music was performed, even the house he lived in.

I will tell Michael if I see him, Dr. P. Also, I really miss doing the Byrd 4-voice. (I don't know if you did it last semester or not...) Do you think you could pull it out of your hat for Palestrina this fall? :-)
Ja, Herr Collins reads this blog daily! He has received the message.
Sylvia,
I will try to fit it in and, Herr Collins, wunderbar!
Kurt, it's been a treat to read your daily posts and see the pictures; I think I've been spoiled.
It would be easy to understand if you wished this tour could go on; the flip side is that we'll be glad to have you back safely in a few days.
Please give my regards to Father Skeris.
Mom,
It has been a great experience. I am glad I did it and probably will do it again at some point, but I am finally starting to get tired.
It's time for me to go home - and soon I will be.
Kurt
