I've pre-ordered the CD.  This is simply delicious music.

"Vocatio Abrahae" (The Calling of Abraham) is a two-hour symphonic odyssey, divided into 12 main parts (plus optional postlude), designed for performance or sectional listening. Inspired by the Romantic tradition of programmatic music, it follows the biblical patriarch Abraham as a metaphor for radical faith — leaving home, journeying through trials, receiving divine promises, interceding for others, and ultimately facing the supreme test at Mount Moriah.

The work begins with a brooding Call in Ur, grows into the restless Journey, expands in wonder under the Starry Promise, and erupts into conflict in the War of Kings. A solemn Covenant passage anchors the symphony in sacred ritual, before turning toward the playful Hospitality at Mamre and the tragic shadows of Sodom’s Cry.

The final two sections, The Ascent to Moriah and The Sacrifice of Isaac, are the emotional and spiritual summit of the symphony: an immense meditation on obedience, anguish, and redemption. Here, motifs from earlier movements return, transformed into radiant light as the angel intervenes and the promise of faith is fulfilled.

The Postlude closes the journey with a gentle pastoral benediction, leaving the listener in peace after the storm.

What Do Girls Want?

Please form an orderly list of appropriate answers to that question below.

Girls play sports in skirts, and boys just play ‘til they get hurt
And maybe that’s just why it works, maybe that’s just why it works Friday night in last October, you proclaimed that we were over You said my mind overloaded ya,
What a shame, what a shame, the way your screaming my name
Asking the code for my brain
He said ‘What Do Girls Want’, ‘What Do Girls Want’, ‘What Do Girls Want’ Hunny if I knew I still wouldn’t tell you
Tell your friends it’s complicated and kelly’s just some girl you dated
You didn’t even kiss her for long, he said I didn’t even kiss her for long
Tell your parents I was lazy, I never liked the looks they gave me
You didn’t even kiss her for long, tell them you didn’t even kiss her for long
What a shame, what a shame, the way your screaming my name
Asking the code for my brain
He said ‘What Do Girls Want’, ‘What Do Girls Want’, ‘What Do Girls Want’ Hunny if I knew I still wouldn’t tell you
But it’s not just your fault, it’s partly mine
Because I yelled at you all the time
I’m just sad you lost your spine and couldn’t look it in the eye
So you sat there and you lied and wasted two years of my life and then said
‘What Do Girls Want’, ‘What Do Girls Want’, ‘What Do Girls Want’ Hunny if I knew I still wouldn’t tell you
