I am told that back in the day (I hope I am getting this right) people said that the University of Chicago was the Baptist college that proper upwardly-mobile Presbyterians sent their children to, to be converted to Roman Catholicism, by Jews.
I hope I got that right.
And if I failed to offend anyone, I promise to catch you next time....
So, I gather that this recording is the greatest Chant pastiche of the Soviet period that was composed by a Lithuanian Jew.
OK! Gottit!
Who knows from Chant like a Litwacker, I ask you?
ATB,

-Not that this made any difference to Rimsky himself, who was, at most, a Pantheist, and more likely, an Atheist.
BTW, I always knew there was something I liked about folks from the University of Chicago! ;-)
Pre-Vatican II at least, there was a saying, "The Study of History is the death of Protestantism."
So, having Jewish intellectuals of blue-collar origins force you to read The Great Books turned out to be more effective in gaining converts (among a certain self-selected pool) than Fulton Sheen's TV show... .
BTW, until I just read a book on the subject of "blue-collar intellectuals" I never knew that Ariel Durant was Jewish and she met literally excommunicated former seminarian Will when he was her teacher and she was: 14. The married when she was 15... .
They were together for what, 67 years?
