DECEMBER 2020 IS THE 35th ANNIVERSARY of the first Hearts of Space program created by our guest producer for western classical and sacred spacemusic, ELLEN HOLMES — a labor of love, dedication and stamina that continues to bring us experiences of sublime beauty and depth. Thank you, Ellen. We are all in your debt.
On this winter holiday transmission of Hearts of Space, Ellen brings together sacred choral and instrumental sounds of love, caring and compassion, on a program called CARITAS. The Latin word translates as charity, and is considered the highest of Christian virtues: the divine love of God, as well as the love of one's neighbor and oneself.
The program includes Anonymous early sacred chants: Baroque and Classical choral gems by MARC-ANTOINE CHARPENTIER, WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART, CHARLES GOUNOD, and FRANZ SCHUBERT, and sacred choral and classical instrumentals by contemporary composers JOHN TAVENER, IVER KLEIVE, GEOFFREY BURGON, JOHN RUTTER and PATRICK HAWES.
Holiday sounds of love, caring and compassion: CARITAS...on this transmission...of Hearts of Space.

congratulations Stephen Hill and company. I have been a fan for more than 20 years. Thank you for providing just the right stuff when i needed it most whether it was dinner with the family, cozying up to the fire while drinking hot cocoa or while driving as i recorded many of your shows on cassette (even VHS audio recordings which i still have labeled)
I have one HOS recording I captured between 5-15-98 and 7-15-98 which is spectacular and I would absolutely love to have a digital recording of it.
Your voice is so cool, smooth and perfect for HOS. thanks again
