Now Playing: Powers of Heaven (Plus Dead Link Repair Update)

Listening to, while repairing dead urls in new website, Powers of Heaven.

Dead link repair moving forward. Not as far as heaven (heaven in this case being when I finish the job), but making progress.

Now Playing: Rutter's Requiem

While repairing dead links in new blog: Rutter's Requiem.

Listen and try not to weep.

Now Playing: Samuel Barber

Samuel Barber's "Concerto for Violin and Orchestra." (First three tracks on this cd.) Big fan of Barber's music, am I.

Now Playing: Soundtrack from . . .

. . . Planet Earth. If you've not seen it, please do. Fabulous and amazing. And the so is the soundtrack. Equally amazing: Blue Planet, which aired on American television in -- 2000? 2001? -- anyway, prior to "Planet Earth." It's now available on dvd.

Now Playing: It's All Greek . . .

. . . to me. One of my all-time favorites: Musique de la Grece Antique.

Now Playing: Hovhaness, Symphony No. 20 . . .

. . . "Three Journeys to a Holy Mountain." As always, tear-inducing. (As a rule, I don't mention this kind of stuff unless it is.)
