I’m curious about your further thoughts on Jane Jacobs’ book, Laura (and if you want to continue reading on the topic, Dawid Owen’s “Green metropolis” is very thought-provoking). But – more broadly — I am curious whether you are planning to take your work and writing on time use and productivity into the area where it intersects with modern thinking about environment, climate change, circular economy…? I realize that the U.S. is far more polarized on these issues than, say, Europe, or New Zealand where I live (so that taking a stance on these issues may put you in particular left/right political space) but at the same time I don’t think that a writer in 2020 (nearly there!) can ignore what’s happening around us.

In reply to Debi Simons. I sang a lot of Rutter in my church choir as a teenager! We had his arrangement of, "The Lord is my Shepherd" sung at our wedding, actually, and my dad played the oboe part on his saxophone.

I love choral music-a church near my house hosts a Byzantine choir group every month or so, and it is such a beautiful way to spend a weekend night.

Would love if you could ever do a post on your favorite pieces (to hear or sing!)-I’m always on the lookout for ideas

In reply to Debi Simons. @Debi - excellent. Choral music should be fun to listen to AND fun to sing!

Hi Laura–
Just wanted to say that I’m with you in Lauridsen–our community choir has performed the entire Lux Aeterna twice this season in two different venues plus some selections from it in yet a third, and I’m sorry that it’s all over. We’re headed for Rutter’s Requiem this coming weekend, though, so that’s some comfort!
