One month of just only Morton Feldman music and that's been sacred to me.

I've listened to Bruckner's Mass in E Minor a couple of times this week. Transcending performance at the following link:
I've never heard the Bruckner E Minor Mass before. It's wonderful. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

As soon as I heard the Kyrie it immediately reminded me of Tchaikovsky's Cherubic Hymn from the Liturgy of St John Chrysostom

Tchaikovsky - Liturgy of St John Chrysostom, Op. 31: Hymn of the Cherubim


His choral works - sacred or secular - are amazing.

Tchaikovsky - Sleeping Golden Cloud

Tchaikovsky is one of my favorite composers, yet I had never heard of these 2 works before. Thank you for posting them, Metairi!

Morton Feldman's For Philip Guston tonight... it is so ethereal that it is definitely a religious experience for me.

Stravinsky's Requiem Canticles has touched my soul lately.
