Arvo Pärt, who was born in Estonia in 1935, has succeeded in bringing sacred music back to a broader audience, and away from the confines of the church service, more than almost any other contemporary composer. The meditative character of his works, and his return to the simplest and most basic musical forms, convey moments of intense spirituality to audiences. 
The Berliner Messe is named this way because it was first performed in the city's St. Hedwig's Cathedral (1990) to mark the German Katholikentag (Catholics Day).
Despite its radical reduction of means of expression, Pärt's music demands the greatest care in execution from those performing it – and this has been masterfully realized in the present recording by the Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks and the Münchner Rundfunkorchester, whose combined and homogenous sound results from their regular cooperation.

The Man on the Moon

C. Charles Jones is a twenty-first century singer/songwriter, producer, author and poet who resides in the midwestern region of Springfield, Missouri. 

His 2024 debut album “Blowin’ Smoke” is a raw and immersive dive into a blend of both R&B and jazz-folk that consists of an acoustic guitar, piano, saxophone and bongos, all of which he produced himself. Each track on his debut brings forth a new kind of soft spoken, melancholic sound that revolves around the topics of loneliness, individualism and staying “asleep” inside a culture that is “woke” with songs like “Some People,” “Colors,” “We’re Not on the Same Page,” and his radio-hit “I Feel Like I’ve Been Dead All the While Now.”

Jones was born in Des Moines, Iowa, on August 14, 1996.
