Way back when, in 1999, Matthew had a CD called Angles of Ecstasy. Before I left for a summer long tour with the Scenic City Drum and Bugle Corps, I recorded the CD to a cassette tape so I could listen to it on the long bus rides between shows. The CD is all sacred choral music from Beethoven to Verdi to Samuel Barber. I’ve included one of the songs from the CD: Miserere Mei Dues composed by Gregorio Allegri. Turn up the volume, close your eyes, and enjoy the next 8 minutes and 23 seconds of your life.
Paul,
I am happy to hear that you found that CD amongst all my others. I found out about the CD because a local FM station in Atlanta played the whole CD from beginning to end one night while I was up late doing homework at Georgia Tech. It’s amazing how beautiful music can make something so ordinary and grueling into something redeeming. I’m glad to know that someone else connected with the music too.
Candyce and I are so happy for you and the lovely lady. You two are a great couple!
