Moved much, over the years, by the ethereal sacred music of Sir John Tavener. He died on November 12th, 2013.
Here’s his Lament of the Mother of God. (Winchester Cathedral Choir under David Hill with soprano Solveig Kringelborn)

Robert White’s birthday
American tenor Robert White was born in New York on 27th October 1936. I first heard “Bird Songs at Eventide” from English composer Eric Coates on Robert White’s album of the same name. Lovely accompaniment from Stephen Hough.
