sacred miscellany

Sacred Miscellany Reborn Once upon a time, there was a blog called "Sacred Miscellany." I was the author and I loved it. And then one day, it was time for something new. And now it's time for something old and new. I have one great love - a cappella sacred music.  And that love demands to be shared! ALL a cappella sacred music. Byzantine, Latin, Southern, Georgian (the country), Corsican, Russian, etc.  Old and new. Anonymous and composed. Chant and polyphony. Just voices and just sacred. My own musical history includes Russian polyphony and Western Gergorian chant and polyphony. I've been a singer, a director, an arranger, and an occasional composer. My goal is similar to the old Sacred Miscellany: to capture, share, and comment on the wondrous variety of music out there through YouTube links, Sound Cloud, interviews, and links to fascinating places. I hope you'll join my for the journey! 

This is my first post using Open Live Writer for this new Sacred Miscellany. And thus it is somewhat of a test. Here’s a bit of chant from France as a lovely test: You don’t have to wait until evening to listen to this recording of Song of Simeon sung by the Fraternites de Jerusalem!
