"There is no loftier mission than to approach the Divinity nearer than other men, and to disseminate the divine rays among mankind." ~ Ludwig van Beethoven (Deist/Pantheist) , Letter to Archduke Rudolph, August 1823

  In a full GOD-centric conversation, we would alternate sharing, exploring, and being enriched by each other. In this venue, limited by the page, I will share with you those apophatic songs which lift my soul to God in the hope that one or more may perform the same magic for you. If you speak Latin, Italian, or Arabic, then not every one of these songs will be imageless for you. I apologize. Please listen:

1. “Adoramus Te” ~  Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina

     A heartfelt reaching out for God

2. “Morning Mood From Peer Gynt” ~ Edvard Grieg

So full of possibility that it sets my soul on God's infinity

3. "Recondita Armonia" ~ Giacomo Puccini, Tosca

The passion and majesty resonate with the divine for me

4. "Adagio for Strings” ~  Samuel Barber

The crescendo of this piece is ethereal and exquisite

5. “Acknowledgement” ~ John Coltrane, A Love Supreme

This earthier, more grounded and fully human exploration

culminates in our Love Supreme

6. “Happy Feet Blues” ~ Wynton Marsalis, The Majesty of the Blues

Joy, pure unadulterated Joy!

7. "Call to Prayer" ~ Baaba Maal, Passion - Sources

The singer is obviously in awe of his God

8. "Open" ~ Peter Gabriel & Shankar, Passion

Such longing within our cloud of unknowing

9. "The Host of Seraphim"  ~ Dead Can Dance, A Passage in Time

Mystery, painful longing, lack of resolution ~ all here

10. Zen Spirit (entire disc) ~ Tani Senzan

     Simplicity, sorrow, longing for home with God
