Overdue musical acknowledgements.

To Chris Johnson for his recommendation of Sr. Marie Keyrouz, the musical voice of the Christian East. "Stunning" is an inadequate description of her singing. Many, many thanks, Chris.

To Aumgn and Bob Pokoj for their recommendations of Palestrina and HB Recordings Direct, respectively.

T'aint cheap, though.

Feel free to add more recommendations in the comment box below.
