Duke Ellington
Host David Garland invites weekday Evening Music host
Terrance McKnight to present sacred music that he knows and loves, and
Terrance joins David to offer us Duke Ellington's "Second Sacred Concert." This multi-part work brings Ellington's colorful, jazz-based music together with a sense of worship and wonder. The piece was dear to Ellington's heart, and was first performed at New York's Cathedral of St. John the Divine in 1968.

What about Ellington's, "First Sacred Concert" ?
Though I've heard only parts of this recording years ago, I believe Ellington created (along with a female vocalist) a beautiful rendition of, The 23rd. Psalm...
Restoring souls
If you can find this recording, David, I wish you would play it.
Best regards ~
Could someone post (or link to) that Duke Ellington quote Terrance McKnight read on the air tonight?
It was beautiful.
Thanks
does anyone know the name of the icelandic composer that was played after duke?
This brings back lots memories of days when music had spiritual purpoeses
Stunning vocals and quirky lyrics are making this quite intriguing. I'll listen through.
Good thing Duke Ellington did not go into the ministry. This is a downright boring, over baked arrangement.
