About Meditation and Exultation – my oboist friend Alicia Cordoba Tait is a Marian scholar at Benedictine University. We are long-time friends (she’s a fine oboist, of course). I am lucky that I went to St. Mary’s Academy for two years to keep me from going astray in high school! I am a mystic who loves the traditional mass in Latin (don’t need to understand) with Gregorian chant.
Patricia Morehead’s “Triptych” for soprano and string quartet… shows her remarkable knack for capturing a mood. The first part is snarly and quizzical; the second luxuriates in an exotic languor. The third part takes the prize with its funky, bluesy, tipsy rant.
