…O Absalom, My Son…

Posted on February 3, 2013 by Catholicism Pure & Simple

When David heard that Absalom was slain
He went up into his chamber over the gate and wept, and thus he said: my son, my son, O Absalom my son, would God I had died for thee!

Thanks to the Croatian Radiotelevision Choir.

    Not to mention that the composer, Eric Whitacre, born Reno Nevada, is really quite dishy. I know that they have sung some of his work at Westminster Cathedral.
