=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   PGM NOTE : adrift in the winter atmospheres
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   FEED DATE : 12-30-05
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

   INTRO: Drifting in the winter atmosphere / chiming tones echo
   across the icy fjords / and the cello sings of the melancholy depths /
   in a land of life suspended.
   
   It's a sound and an image we return to from time to time.
   I'm Stephen Hill, and we're going to do it once again on this
   edition of Hearts of Space...called NORTHERN LIGHTS 3.

   PGM 752 : "VOX SUBLIMAE"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   PGM NOTE : sublime voices and eternal spaces of sacred music
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   FEED DATE : 12-23-05
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

   INTRO: If music can be called sacred, then it must exalt the
   spirit, heal the psyche and focus the mind (to some degree) on
   the eternal. And it must do this while immersed in the heartache,
   joy and imperfection of the human panorama.
      Each year during the holiday season, something deep in the
   human spirit reaches out through all the chaos and compromise of
   our world, in search of images of a more perfect place. In the
   words of E.C. LE GUIN, "Since time out of mind, singing has been
   principal to the observation of this sacred and crucial time;
   it celebrates, exhorts, reflects; in it we can find an outlet
   or a retreat."
      On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a journey in the
   eternal spaces of sacred music called VOX SUBLIMAE (sublime voices).

   more than any other time of year, we hark back to much-loved

   oratorios, and good old sentimentality are all abundant. On this

   called CALM and BRIGHT.

   PGM 750 : "PHOS HILARON"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   PGM NOTE : a journey in contemplative sound and light
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   FEED DATE : 12-09-05
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

   INTRO: PHOS HILARON is the name of an ancient Greek hymn sung
   at the lighting of the evening candles; it means "joyful light"
   -- an act of devotion embedded in a daily ritual. Here in the
   northern hemisphere, the light of the sun is at its lowest at
   the winter solstice, so we illuminate the season with every
   kind of light. We gather in reverberant spaces and sing together.
   The sound of massed voices is an image of harmony and unity;
   echoing on itself, it builds an image of infinity.
      The history of devotional chant extends thousands of years
   before the Christian era. In the monasteries of medieval Europe,
   chant became a form of worship, a foundation of the daily ritual.
   Even in our chaotic, mostly secular times, across boundaries of
   culture and religion -- these venerable chants have the power
   to move us deeply.

   PGM 749 : "TRANSLUCENT MUSIC"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   PGM NOTE : seeking the light, from darkness to hope
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   FEED DATE : 12-02-05
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

   INTRO: After the often painful and turbulent days of November,
   we seek relief from dark and gloomy emotions. We look forward
   to increasing light and hope: from opalescent, to translucent,
   to luminous -- harbingers of the season of light and celebration
   to come. On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we echo that
   journey through the fragile, pellucid landscape of the psyche,
   on a program called TRANSLUCENT MUSIC.
