Heart-filling Russian chant in the morning. almost ruined by over-rehearsing and blunting the edge, but some habits cannot be changed. Concert at All Souls in the afternoon, except for Bach almost all new to me. Must go to more concerts. Must tear myself from the desk. The day began in vernal sweetness, ended in cold wind. Watched the Academy Awards all through for the first time in decades.
