Meditating on the icons has long been a way to contemplate Christ and His Work through the arts. So here is my favorite musical piece of all time, set to iconography--although I wish it did not change so quickly. I guess iconography can fall prey to limited visual attention spans even if there are no commercial breaks...
See! Via the internet, even a hillbilly in Wesleyan Countryfolk Heaven can experience some of the grandeur of a full church choir and high church art!

additional note: in pondering the other day with Ethan, over fine beverage, it occurred to me that the happiest memories of my life are those of communal singing. So great thanks to brother David, for helping me startle all those tourists in Frankenmouth with robust carol singing.
Sufjan sings the same. Also, "For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti."
