#Nimrod #LuxAeterna #Voces8

In this episode of #TheDailyDoug, I'm listening to one of the more exquisite pieces of music ever written performed by one of the leading choral chamber ensembles in the world. On this Memorial Day, I'm not only remembering and paying tribute to those who sacrificed their lives in the line of service...I'm also remembering those special to me that are no longer here. And, I'm helped by this performance of Elgar's Nimrod Variation, arranged for 8-part unaccompanied mixed voices, using the Lux Aeterna text.

This year, with war ongoing in Europe and countless senseless tragedies here in America, this music is what I needed to feel the feelings I needed to feel. Choral music is a balm to my soul, and I hope that you will be eased along on your journey as you join me in this episode. Thank you for tuning in and for supporting the channel.
