Sacred River: Six hours of continuous sacred music Sunday 26 November

[eighthobstruction]

.....well it wasn't welcomed by the 'explore' lot....my take is they[the producers] probably would have liked to be - more adventurous-but then that would have let another load of snakes out of another kettle thats been on simmer for years....

I say far better than usual fare....but could have been much better....

[Lat-Literal]

... I'm also putting money on : Hildegard of Bingley, Arvo Pärt, some Bulgarian nuns, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, some Negro Spirituals, Palestrina, Bach, and some goddawful 19th cent English dirging...

... and some Shaker simple songs....
.

None of the formal promotion reached any part of me but on seeing that mostly wonderful list it is now a no brainer!

So why isn't it on the I-Player.................can't the technology cope retrospectively with the length of the immersion?

I often wonder what music/presenters are actually in favour in this forum. So many posts seem snide and negative. I'd be grateful if someone could point me in the direction of a lively, constructive and non-snarky debate/thread! Thank you.

Hiya eucalyptus44,

In my view passions are running high, as something that many people on these boards cherish (ie Radio 3) is being slowly dismantled or altered beyond recognition for the worse.

Much as I wanted to enjoy this programme - the concept chimed with me - the section that I listened to sounded like a mixtape. As such, I am not sure that it conveyed spirituality although it might have done had I stuck with it longer. I may revisit it if I-Player permits. Perhaps in parallel the Disney Corporation could consider replacing Fox News with Slow TV.
