Most welcome-i scrolled back to see if your post was response to this. Somewhere in my CD collection is South African Mass- beautiful music but not enough to lure me back into Catholicism I gave up for Lent over 49 years ago

I sang with the Heinz Chapel Choir, at Pitt, for four years. And singing from the balcony of that chapel, darkness outside but dramatic internal lighting bringing all the stained glass to life, a full church below...

...yeah, I remain agnostic because I just don't know. But what happened there and singing in similar chapels, churches, and sacred spaces... I capitalize the word Universe for a reason.

I still recall a service at church in Amherst when I was at UMass. There was amazing violin coming from above. When Mass was over the musician came down and was surprised it was the solitary guy that had the corner single room on our dorm's floor
