This wonderful music came to us yesterday. Fr. Michael had told me about it a few weeks ago in conversation at the Fusion Cafe during his brief visit to Los Alamos at Christmastime. I was so impressed by his story about Hilarion and their personal relationship that I immediately Google searched for this composition, read rave reviews about it and then listened to a YouTube performance of it. Playing it on a computer does not compare to having a high quality recording. What a blessing!
