Pentecost Special!

Since Sunday is Pentecost, we thought we would feature a couple of appropriate Pentecost albums, and let you know that we are having a special when you buy both of them together!

Celestial Fire
Goulding and Wood organ
Saint Meinrad Archabbey, Indiana
Douglas Cleveland, organ

Taken from the text of Veni, Creator Spiritus, "Celestial Fire" explores mostly new music, some with Pentecost themes. The 70-rank Goulding and Wood organ is Romantically inclined, and projects into a room with six seconds of reverberation. Douglas Clevelands artistry and imaginative programming, make this unusual recording worth hearing!

Larsen: Veni, Creator Spiritus
Locklair: Windows of Comfort
Decker: Kairos
Langlais: Triptyque
Melody
Trio
Final
Duruflé: Prelude, Adagio & Choral on Veni Creator, Op. 4

Sound from Heaven
A Liturgy for Pentecost
Anna Maria Friman, soprano
The Girl Choristers of Washington National Cathedral, James Litton, director
Quintus Quodlibet, Geoffrey Williams, director
Erik Wm. Suter, organist
Edward M. Nassor, carillonneur

This recording brings together a splendid tapestry of music from the Franco-Belgian tradition, including traditional Gregorian chant, monody from the Notre Dame Conductus which flourished in Paris circa 1200, and the medieval "Messe de Tournai." This music is paired with the excerpts from the Pentecost Mass for organ by Olivier Messiaen, the 20th century Roman Catholic mystic; also Messiaen's choral motet, "O Sacrum Convivium," and music from the Cathedral's 53-bell carillon.
