The serious and sometimes satirical reflections of a priest, poet, and pilgrim —
who knowing he has not obtained the goal, presses on in a Godward direction.
Four Pages from an Illuminated Manuscript

The whole composition is about 10 minutes long.

“a clear-sighted companion.... If you are passionate about the vitality of today’s church, I encourage you to accompany him on his mystagogical excursion into the liturgical landscape. You will rediscover a familiar place rife with fresh provisions planted by the God who longs to feed our deepest hungers and hopes.” —Jay Koyle, chair, Faith, Worship and Ministry of The Anglican Church of Canada

Lovely, Tobias. I say this after listening on my laptop, which has less than a stellar sound system. When I get home I'll listen on my good speakers.
Thanks, Mimi. I wanted to review this on my headphones but they don't seem to be working. Speakers aredefinitely better on desktop than laptop...
The piece is even lovelier listening with better quality speakers. The technology that enables the performance is amazing to me.
Thanks again, Mimi. What Garritan did in their software is truly amazing. They are working on an organ package that should be interesting. I'm just glad to be able to realize music that has otherwise been sitting on a shelf for decades.
