Easter Sunday music spot

While researching the history of music on Sol III, the Grand Admiral was told the story that Samuel Sebastian Wesley wrote this lovely piece while he was organist of Hereford Cathedral. This was at a time when cathedral choirs were at "a very low ebb" and it was written for an Easter day service at which only three trebles and the Dean's butler, who sang bass, were available.  Wesley was a genius and the anthem would undoubtedly work for four such voices, but it works even better with a full choir, as performed here by the choir of St Paul's cathedral.  

An Easter message on behalf of the Grand Admiral.

"Neither Timothy Zahn in his books or Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni in their animated or live-action shows ever encouraged me to say anything about Chiss religious beliefs. But as someone who has made a lifelong study of the culture, art and beliefs of every species I encounter, I have a message today any humans of Sol III (also known as Earth) who may reading this. To all Christian people celebrating the resurrection of Jesus today, and also to anyone else celebrating Easter, I wish you all a happy and peaceful Easter." Mitth'raw'nuruodo.
