In memory of Dr. Gail Walton Director of Music at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart 1988-2010 From The "Commencement Concert" of the Liturgical Choir May 15, 2009
"I Was Glad" C. H. H. Parry "Jesu the Very Thought of Thee" Paul Halley
@jschank On the other hand last summer in Montreal to visit Blessed Andre's St. Joseph Oratory. A choir from Iowa or someplace was singing and they did all of Gail's music. We recognized several songs...of course the director was a protege...her music lives on. Thank you Gail for sharing your gift and thank you Jesus for bestowing the gift!
All who were honored to know Gail were touched by her beauty and love. She touched countless lives and brought the most profound beauty into the prayer lives of literally millions through her music broadcast from Notre Dame. What a gift she was to this planet!

This is utterly stunning. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Watching and listening to the Parry "I Was Glad" actually makes me weep.
