What's Spinning Tonight?

What is it that you are spinning tonight?

 

Arvo Part is one of my favorite choral music composers. I find his music sublime and ethereal. We all must face the fact that we’re not here forever. At some point we’ll have to leave this earth. Who knows what if anything lies in the hereafter? I’d like to fantasize that I can still listen to Arvo Part.

@godofwealth ,

I don’t know why, but this reminds me of Christmas, it reminds me of childhood and my grand parents… It gives me tears in my eyes, but at the same time safe and warmth in my heart. Thank you for sharing this album.. I simply love it!
