I love the pacing. Clearly, the work of the great cantor/teachers of the 19th century Presov Academy has been not been lost! Many of the early Rusyn priests and cantors in America, be they Greek Catholic, or later converts to Orthodoxy, learned there and brought the beauty of the Rusyn prostopenije to America. I thank them for teaching men like my late father and the late Metropolitan Nicholas, who in turn passed the chant tradition on to those of us of my generation.I know that there are similar stories within the Byzantine Catholic Church as well and I truly include their intentions as well. Eternal be all of their memories! Vicnaja jim Pamjat! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D524ApJH9m4&feature=related

I heard from my son last night who attended the concert at St. Mary's with his classmates from Christ the Savior. The CSS seminarians attended in their cassocks and enjoyed the interaction. He related a funny anecdote. A few of the elderly ladies from St. Mary's were talking to my son after the concert and they asked him where he learned to speak such wonderful American English, apparently thinking he was with the Presov singers. The same thing happened in reverse to his grandfather twenty years ago when he visited Presov!
