Graeme's vanity. Music he presumes to give thanks to the Glory of God. At least, how poor Graeme is willing to pay homage to God, via mankinds best musical efforts. Graeme's favourite's, posted periodically to hopefully uplift post helpful mucic during our trials on earth. Some written for specifically for God, most secular but fitting nevertheless.
Just lost your favourite Great Vampire Squid a King's ransom? Just woken up with tanker loads of oil you don't remember buying after last night's drinking and trading bender? Blown the Paris Christmas party budget for a humongous French bank? This is the place to make one's peace with God before calling in sick and heading out to the airport and a new life in Switzerland or elsewhere.

Thomas Tallis at his best. The rarely heard Spem in Alium 1570ish. By way of the highly gifted Caroline of Montana, USA. "I have never put my hope in any other but in you, God of Israel, who will be angry, and yet become again gracious...."
