Inspired by the great music of Franz Liszt, and also by the Easter holidays, I went forth and spent the whole of yesterday, Good Friday, doing this recording.
1/2 hour setting up the recording, 1 hour at the piano, 12 hours editing.
The Choir of King's College, Cambridge, singing the hauntingly beautiful "O Sacred Head, Sore Wounded," which references Jesus's crucifixion and the crown of thorns that was placed on his head....
And a metal song about Jesus's resurrection from the dead.... (As Derek Rishmawy notes in a blog post about this song, "Some might wonder if the medium fits the message. 'Is metal an appropriate means to convey the beautiful truth of Easter?' I can only answer that question, with another question: 'What is more epically-metal than Jesus killing Death?' I rest my case.")
