Are you feeling alright, Draco, or has the winter weather addled your brain?
Tomorrow, methinks, not today.

[DracoM]

Woops - yeah, both. My mistake!
And actually, snow here pretty serious - AND rain now fallen on wet, and it will all freeze overnight! Ouch
Shopping / Going to school Wed a.m. will be no joke at all.

[DracoM]

Crumbs! What on / or off earth was that 'anthem'?

[haldeman]

Is the first time a piece featuring pre-recorded electronic sounds has featured in a CE? It was rather fun, although I always thought Larry King was a chat show host!

I was going to describe the piece (which I enjoyed more than I expected to) as 'experimental' but actually it's already part of a past phase of musical history as much as anything by Bach or Tallis. Presumably any performance must use one particular recording made by Mr King? This little article seems to capture it quite well: Consider yourselves warned! – Jesus is about to be transfigured - CCC (christchurchcranbrook.org)
