Dear kenkleno,
Thank you for your listenership and for your thoughtful comment. I sincerely appreciate your sentiments and I actually feel the same way you do. Let me see if I can explain my reasoning, perhaps it will shed some light on what is going one here: (1) it is a business decision - though I do this on a voluntary basis, I try to run it as if it were a small business by sticking to commitments, looking for ways to improve the product, reach new 'customers' etc.. I know the Spanish-speaking market is huge, and I'm curious, as an experiment, how this 'plays' in that world. (2) it is a personal decision - my Italian mother taught Spanish in High School for 30 years, my wife was born in Colombia and I actually travelled to Latin America for years selling power equipment. I love the Spanish language and culture. I'm not fluent, but I can narrate well enough. With my wife's help I will work on pronunciation and keep my skills sharp. This will help me do that. (3) Listeners requested it - like any small business, I will respond to my listener's requests as best I can. No one has approached me about any other language besides Spanish. Fortunately, it is within my meager abilities to try and accommodate that request. If it were any other language it just wouldn't be possible. (4) inspiration of the Holy Spirit - this whole project was and is an inspiration of the Holy Spirit. We know that the Spirit blows where it will. I'm just trying to follow that holy wind. I don't know where it will go. Maybe no place. Maybe someplace. We'll have to see. It is an experiment.

Thanks for caring enough to comment. It means a lot to me and I thank you for listening. Please let me know if you have any other thoughts or comments. God bless and hello to our friends in Cleveland, a great city.

The amazing male chant ensemble is called Psallentes. They are out of the Netherlands and their music is just now for sale on iTunes or Amazon.
The male motets are beautifully sung by the prodigy Matthew Curtis and written by living composer Kevin Allen. Distributed by Corpus Christi Watershed.
The female choir is the Benedictines of Mary, my original inspiration to set Morning Prayer to music over two years ago now. They can be found on iTunes or their website.
