Liturgical Music Schedule

January -December 2011

For GOD the father Almighty plays upon the HARP of stupendous
    magnitude and melody.
For at that time malignity ceases and the devils themselves
    are at peace.
For this time is perceptible to man by a remarkable stillness
    and serenity of soul.

Hallelujah from the heart of God, and from the hand of the artist inimitable, and from the echo of the heavenly harp in sweetness magnifical and mighty.
                                                        — Christopher Smart
