   PGM 763 : "QUIET PRAYERS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   PGM NOTE : a sacred choral collection for Easter
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
   FEED DATE : 4-14-06
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=

   INTRO: Every year at Easter, we take the opportunity to catch up
   on the finest sounds in sacred choral music. There's something
   mysterious and majestic in the sound of voices in harmony. As
   often in the past, we turned to guest producer ELLEN HOLMES of
   Adagio Recordings, who brought us a bouquet of sublime pieces
   from the repertoire.
      On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, our common theme is
   QUIET PRAYERS. Not only Easter sacred music -- but sacred music
   that sounds _right_ on Easter. It comes from many countries and
   spans several centuries: from medieval hymns to 21st century
   art songs.
