Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I share now something simple yet astoundingly profound, imnsho:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6WR6A-r8SY

Translation: "Having fallen asleep in the flesh, as a mortal, O King and Lord, on the third day Thou didst rise again, raising up Adam from corruption, and destroying Death: O Pascha of incorruption, Salvation of the world!"

The music is by Archbishop Johnathan Yeletsky, born in 1949. Methinks this piece almost rivals anything that Master Thomas Tallis wrote...

Beautiful, just a pity the audio quality was not a bit better, I thought the enunciation was a bit blurred, maybe the building acoustics aggravated that?

Good to hear from the mates on MIMF - My quadruplets are demanding more and more quality time which reduces my visits to MIMF a bit...

Another YouTube vid will be linked to shortly.............

Hopefully that will be when they are about 5 or 6. Young enough to be curious and also Young enough not to have pre conceived ideas or be embarrassed.

Quite right CD. Good old fashioned education covering everything rather than the latest fad that some idiot has dreamed up because they think it sounds trendy.

I spoke with my wife about the classical "Great Books" curriculum and we agreed that it will serve our kids well in their future lives.

A very brief post on education, our system has been using internal assessment as a main ingredient for a pass in exams, now maybe I am old fashioned but the best way to find out if you know a subject is to answer a specific question with the correct answer (exam)
either you know or you don't. simple and effective.

Latest fad here in education is phonics, as opposed to phonetics. Its a bit like the fad for letting children spell any old way, instead of correcting it. Whats the point in teaching children to do something the wrong way, only to have to teach them the right way later on?

Totally agree with you on that Teddy!

Quads? Wow! No wonder you're busy CD! Do you actually get any :sleep: ??

As for the musak .... what wonderful sustained singing. There's something very special about Russian music and choirs.

Hello gentleperson Nikam,

My wife and I sleep very well, especially since the quads love to fall asleep with the sounds of Bach or Mozart gently wafting through their rooms, and they sleep until 0800 hrs and are cooing away with smiles on their faces when daddy or mommy collects them for breakfast.

What a wonderful occassion. However, my youngest being born on the 16th of December we found too many people refused to seperate her birthday and Christmas. "And this is for Christmas too" was often heard. Also what kid in this country at least wants a bike for their birthday when its raining hard outside. We tended to have a Summer celebration party to make up for it and to spread the fun over the year a bit more.
