My favorite thing from Sting is The Soul Cages, though--the whole album.<BR/><BR/>Did you find his "Angel Gabriel" on an album, or as an isolated MP3? I'd be curious to know what album that was on.Eric Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00234407421710211220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-59978167694271353452007-03-26T15:57:00.000-05:002007-03-26T15:57:00.000-05:00Deb,Yes, I bet you do.Mimi,Thanks and blessings on...Deb,<BR/><BR/>Yes, I bet you do.<BR/><BR/>Mimi,<BR/><BR/>Thanks and blessings on the completion of Lent and the enjoyment of Holy Pascha!<BR/><BR/>Eric,<BR/><BR/>I first learned the song because the seminary choir sang it one Advent season (and was it ever fun to sing in that!). A friend of mine, Pastor Pete Hoft, first mentioned to me that Sting had sung it - and I went and hunted that down. I love Sting (I'm a sucker for Fields of Barley - makes me want to cry each time I hear it), and was astounded at what a fine job he did with the piece. We sang it this a.m. at Lutheran High and the kids did a great job with it.William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-3536927269136185552007-03-26T15:39:00.000-05:002007-03-26T15:39:00.000-05:00First time I heard that hymn, I was in college and...First time I heard that hymn, I was in college and not yet a Lutheran. It was Christmas Eve, and I had a rock station on, listening for those few Christmas "gems" that pop music has to offer (e.g. the Kinks' "Father Christmas" and the McKenzie Brothers "Twelve Days of Christmas") when lo and behold, here comes Sting with an ethereally beautiful song to the Virgin Mary. I had no idea it was a hymn. I figured Sting wrote it. Then I figured he must be a Roman Catholic of some kind.<BR/><BR/>Imagine my surprise--and excitement--10 years later when I opend the LW Hymnal Supplement and found myself singing "Sting" at the Christmas Eve service!Eric Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00234407421710211220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-27851613004155723612007-03-26T14:25:00.000-05:002007-03-26T14:25:00.000-05:00Happy Feast Day!
