“Chicago Chicago, That toddlin’ town“. No, wait, “Elijah, get hence, Elijah!“
I’m headed to Chicago for a couple of days. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is performing my most favorite piece of music, ever! Felix Mendelssohn’s Elijah.
Elijah is an oratorio, which depicts events in the life of the Prophet Elijah as told in the books 1 Kings and 2 Kings of the Old Testament.
I don’t recall the first time I heard Elijah, nor can I count how many times I’ve seen Elijah in concert.
It’s been too long since I last heard the opening words “As God the Lord of Israel liveth…”, so I’m super-psyched about this performance. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, no less.
Elijah will be in my ears as I am seated in my chair in the sky.
Traveling mercies.

So love the patterns in the symphony hall building and (I’m guessing) the airport ceiling. I’m off to Google what you’ll be hearing. Excited for you!
