If you only want this song, here's a link to a Mediafire download in FLAC: www.mediafire.com/?x425tu1kevn...
I originally got it form here: avaxhome.ws/music/classical/no...
(EDIT: Site's down, folks! Maybe you'll have some luck finding a cached version by Google or Archive.org)
The other songs from that CD are good as well, but it's a long download, it being from Rapidshare and all. (Good stuff)

This is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever known. My husband and I discovered it twenty years ago. We loved it so much and took it as our wedding theme music. I have played it on every special day. It will remain the most beautiful piece for the rest of my life.

"In Church" is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. And it always makes me cry.

[@fionajohnston]

I will try that, Sarah, and pass it on to Dougie Henshall & his wife. The Slovak Suite in parts has little echoes of a French composer which I am racking my brains[Mother Goose Suite] The first time I heard the Slovak Suite was before Easter on Classic FM. A wonderful way I feel to acquaint young people to classical music. As the piece progressed towards the organ, my heart soared with exhilaration.

[@MahlerHolic1860]

I am listening to it now and crying! I cry every time I hear it. It's a magnificent work.

[@sarahdelmas7194]

@@fionajohnston You mean Maurice Ravel, who composed Mother Goose? Another of my favourite composers. So exquisite and poignant.

[@brianknapp8645]

@@sarahdelmas7194 The beginning of this piece reminds me of the end of Liszt's Dante Symphony and also Felix Woyrsch's Prelude to Dante's Divine Comedy.

I needed this music. Just discovered it, driving home from work a few days ago. I'm going through a rough emotional patch right now and this will give me a boost. I adore the romantic tones of summer, and how this music can elevate a part of us that nobody can define or identify.

One of the most moving pieces of music that I have ever heard. I first heard it played on Classic FM, and was determined to possess it.

[@pauljoneseyboy9615]

That’s where I heard it too I managed to find a recording in Prague

[@harryarmitage6056]

Classic FM in the UK keep playing this recording of "At church". I have no objection whatever (I love the piece) but until I looked it up hadn't realised this recording was 23 years old. It says something about the quality of the interpretation, the playing, and the recording.

[@ColleenMEA]

And the organ starts, and I imagine playing this spectacular part. Adding the pedal part makes it so very atmospheric.

[@susangreen1649]

A most beautiful piece, not played enough in main stream.

[@Frantisek_Valena]

What a beautiful piece. His teacher of composing was Antonín Dvořák, btw.

[@fionajohnston]

The start of this music was enough to send me in raptures, especially when the organ came in I temporarily switched off and clicked into Twitter to send out a tweet to the actor, Douglas Henshall to listen to, I hope he will pass it on to his wife, Tena who comes from, Croatia,former Yugoslavia. I reckon she will love it.

[@casterlanus10]

I have always loved this music since hearing for the first time many years ago. I must congratulate you on using this picture, it is a glorious composition.

[@fionajohnston]

Hear, hear, as I listened to the music reaching a crescendo, the picture chosen could not have been better as it made my heart soar up into the mountains beyond. A wonderful way to introduce our young to classical music.

[@svobodnyclovek90]

...prostě geniální dílo výjimečného umělce.

[@bearmanmr]

thank you so much for upliting this - only heard it for the first time today on an old cd I have played - it was only the first part - so sort it out on KZbin and you have the whole compostion. Wonderful. Thank you so much for posting. He must have been amazing composer to write such a piece when Europe was just about to go into the cauldron of fire. Thank you so much. I loved this piece. very peace-evoking for sure.

[@judithcarr-cave5412]

Beautiful, makes ones heart soar

[@fionajohnston]

Couldn't agree with you more, I sent a tweet to the actor, Douglas Henshall and told him where to find it, I hope he introduces it to his wee daughter, Anya, She will be three near the end of this year and it is a great way to educate young ears to classical music. Once they hear this sort of thing, they usually want to hear more, don't you agree?

Those deer seem remarkably unconcerned about the 10 megaton H-bomb going off in the distance. Perhaps they were blinded by the flash. What do you call a deer with no eyes? No idea. What do you call a dead deer with no eyes? Still no idea. Or maybe they're all drunk - out on a stag do.
