20090524 Blindness, Language, Sacrifice, and Music

20090524  Blindness, Language, Sacrifice, and Music
  www.stmichaeluoc.org  www.orthoanalytika.org
   On this edition, the homily touches on the themes of blindness (Gospel lesson), language (Sts. Cyril and Methodius), and sacrifice (Memorial Day), but the real feature is the music from the Divine Liturgy.  The consensus favorite?  The Paschal Tropar near the end will have you bouncing with the tenors/basses as thy sing "the tombs" (FWIW, there are several good Ukrainian versions of this tropar in both Ukrainian and English).  Enjoy!
