I hope this very personal review will be helpful to others. I bought this CD for my father during his final days. He listened to it every evening before he went to sleep. It afforded him great comfort and peacefulness through all of his pain and suffering. As for me, I was transported to the Catholic masses I loved as a child and the fond memories of my family. Although I am no longer "religous" per se, the music was soothing and spiritually transcendental, helping us both through that most difficult and profound time. It will remain one of my most cherished treasures.
