This is just a brief post to express how beautiful and sublime was listening to our Cathedral Choir perform Sergi Rachmaninoff's
All Night Vigil last night in our lovely
Madeleine. The beauty of the setting and the singing were almost overwhelming for me. I had been looking forward to this concert for months and my anticipation was richly rewarded. This work of Rachmaninoff's, like many of his works, is so challenging, but our choir, under the direction of Gregory Glenn and Melanie Malinka, were more than up to the task. How nice it was to spend more than an hour in prayer!
So, to Mr. Glenn, Mrs. Malinka, and the men and women, girls and boys of the Cathedral Choir:
Thank you for this beautiful experience!A happy St. Joseph's day to one and all!
St. Joseph- pray for usEspecially for those of us who are fathers (spiritual and biological) St. Joseph is a patron whose intercession is worth invoking daily.
