Miserere - Part.1 Gregorio Alegri

Upon hearing (from me) about a relatively pertinent and interesting piece of international, geopolitical news, a Panamanian friend of mine, said "we don´t get to know these things because we are a 3rd world country". I suggested to him that for those people with the knowledge, access, and money, the World is no longer restricted to such arcane developmental notions. I then recalled that my friend (a US educated Panamanian, English teacher) had previously confessed to:
a)Never using the internet
b)Not switching his computer on in three years!
It goes without saying that I will be dragging his sorry, arse to an internet cafe soon. Since getting broadband here, I have been listening to BBC radio news, and other programmes. One of these programmes used this frankly magical piece of music, composed by Gregorio Alegri. Of course there were several versions of it on Youtube and I have embedded one here. It was Wittengstein who said that even if science were to provide us with the explanation to everything, there there would still remain the eternal mystery of the human heart. I think this music embodies some of that mystery. The music is for all of you who stop by, I hope you play it on an otherwise peaceful Sunday morning as I just have, and feel enlightened .......and for my friend? Eso es por tuyo, amigo:
