I listened to this over at Pelican+, and I’d love to know what was that heavenly music that served as prelude. Honestly, I’d love to know more about all of the music that introduces these articles, for a splendid Lenten playlist!
Hi there Jehan! Thank you so much for listening! You are hearing Benjamin Britten's setting of "There is No Rose of Such Virtue," a Medieval carol in honor of Our Lady and the Christ Child.

Wonderful! Thank you so very much. I love Britten’s operas, but am not terribly familiar with his songs and carols.
Outstanding article; I honestly enjoyed it as much as I did the music.
Deo gratias! Thank you so much!

It is very beautiful, but watch out for the joyful inclusion of the late lamented "A-------" (buried last Saturday). Blessed Septuagesima to you!
