Kathe and I went to a recital of early (15th-16th Century) organ music today at the First United Methodist Church.

As
we looked around the interior, we made a note to bring the
seven-year-old when we had him next, so he could admire the architecture
and the windows. I was reminded of a line from C.S. Lewis, something
along the lines of, "She was about to make a disparaging reference to
'stained-glass saints' until she remembered what stained glass looks
like".
We enjoyed the sacred and secular music, particularly the Agincourt Hymn,
which we agreed was a ripsnortin' martial piece. We wondered what it
would sound like with a chorus, and searched YouTube without really
having our curiosity satisfied.
