At first glance, this CD might appear to contain a random selection of hymns, some of which will be familiar, some will not. There is, however, a pattern underlying the choice of hymns that echoes many of the constant cycles which speak deeply to our nature and to the rhythm of our lives. It is a pattern of beginings and ends, of life and death, of times and seasons, most of which mark the special moments of our life both in and outside the Church.
