This month's adventure is self-contained. It concerns my dropping in on the simulation experience of someone else and seeing how the simulation process worked. Simulations are specially designed training environments on the astral and mental planes for developing the abilities of the energy bodies and working through issues that prevent our getting closer to Source.

Last week the first commercially produced CD of my music was released. The piece is for choir and brass instruments and was performed last year in New York as part of the Fourth Festival of Universal Sacred Music. It's a setting of Three Poems from Das Stundenbuch (The Book of Hours) by Rainer Maria Rilke, beautiful love poems to God (in German).

You can download an MP3 from Amazon.com here. (Please note the title as of publication of this newsletter is incorrect.)

Or you can buy the album in CD format here.

For those of you in the Boston area, I have a world premiere coming up on December 11, 2011 at 4 PM at First Unitarian Society, 1326 Washington St., West Newton, MA. The piece is a setting of "Die drei heilige Könige" ("The Three Holy Kings") by Rainer Maria Rilke, for children's choir and organ. This is the holiday concert of the Youth Chorus Pro Musica, Boston's premiere choir for young people ages 10-18, Robert Barney music director. They will be performing with well-known Boston-based organist David Carrier. You can find further information, including directions on the Youth Pro Musica website.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
