Religious and spiritual poem about the inspirational experience of hearing the Hilliard Ensemble and Jan Garbarek at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral. The title of the album, "Officium" was purchased by the "Parish Poet" as a reminder of the memorable experience. "Parish Poet" Peter Menkin of Church of Our Saviour, Mill Valley, California USA comments on his blog: My way into contemplative prayer is by centering prayer. I do so in quiet, no music. So why this poem about music and prayer? As I say, the experience is similar in regards to a feeling of God's presence.
