Hey, it's Heather, and I want to remind you about our very special tours to the UK.

In 2017, we'll be doing tours focusing on the Even Song experience.

The Even Song service comes from Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer from the mid-16th century.

It's been dubbed the atheist's favorite service because it requires so little and it gives so much. It's simply

divine choral music sung in some of the most historic chapels, abbeys and cathedrals in England.

We'll be spending 10 days visiting places like Cambridge, Oxford, Bath, the Cotswolds, Winchester

and Windsor with walking tours, free time to explore,

and then gathering back each afternoon for the Evensong Service if you choose to attend.

It will be 10 days of beautiful countryside, historic cities and villages, and so, so much music.

So I recently had the opportunity to travel to Sydney Sussex College in Cambridge to interview Dr.

David Skinner.

And what follows is the conversation we had, highlights of which are when he sums up changes in 16th century music in less than 10 words

and the discussion of his research methodology. I am incredibly grateful for his generosity

in sharing so much information with us. He mentioned several CDs, YouTube videos, books, and

recordings, and I've put links to all of them at ht-t-p-colon-slash-S-S-E-Land-Cast.com,
