I find it hard to believe that anybody could have a spiritual
awakening after listening to Messiaen's music -it consists of
mainly bleeps and twangs. Perhaps she is trying to sell her

The lady is a pro musician, with far more refined tastes and greater sensitivity than average. Praise God for her aesthetic sense, and we'll be looking for her continued creative effort in her new role as an oblate. It is her gift, and we hope her gift to Catholic music. It will be good to have a serious classical contribution to modern Church music in addition to the semi-pop, feel-good stuff that has come on since Vatican II.
