Nunc Dimittis

June 27-July 2, 2011, Washington, D.C.

This was another outstanding OHS convention—in and around our nation's capital

While preparing the edition of Maurice Duruflé, 1902-1986, the Last Impressionist, Scarecrow Press, 2002, I researched many facets of his career: as student, as professor, as composer, as performer, as organ consultant. In that process, I learned of a very extraordinary Lenten concert series organized by Charles Dodsley Walker at the American Cathedral in Paris in 1949 and 1950

I take hundreds of photos in the usual routine of my work--it might be fun to spend a couple hours writing about what I see as random photos appear

For its 39th Annual Convention, the OHS returned to central
Connecticut where it had held its 20th Annual Convention in 1975. There were revisits to only eight of the instruments heard in the previous meeting which lasted for only three days compared to the full week for the 1994 convention which offered 47 events (including optional choices) to the more than 435 who registered for all or part of the week. Headquarters was the Holiday Inn in Cromwell.
