Beautiful music, even if the composer isn't a Christian (I believe Webber is Jewish and makes no claim to believe in Christ).<br /><br />Lovely music is always welcome. I hope you'll post more of it from time to time on your blog.<br /><br />FWIW, my favorite requiem is the one by the French master, Gabriel Faure. Odd as it may seem, I first heard it when the choir of my home church, First Presbyterian there in Sioux Falls, sang it one year. Members of the local symphony were hired to help accompany the choir.<br /><br />I imagine John Calvin wasn't pleased with a Presbyterian church singing a Catholic requiem, but it sure blessed me.David Handy+noreply@blogger.com
