Of the first batch of CDs that DJ B chose from the library on her initial music-seeking trip, the one that initially attracted her attention when we got home was Chanticleer's release "Magnificat: A Capella Works by Josquin, Palestrina, Titov, Victoria and Others." Miss B popped it into her CD player and seemed to really enjoy it. When we told her the name, she kept repeating it and requesting "Chanticleer."
According to their website, "Magnificat is Chanticleer's tribute to the many early compositions dedicated to Mary, Mother of God." Indeed, it's a very grand sounding spiritual release. What's sort of eerie is that Chanticleer was performing at the church where Miss B was christened (Mission Dolores in San Francisco) the same week that Miss B selected the CD from the library. No wonder she had a psychic connection to it.
