Music Monday's - Leroy
This week is my husband's and mine birthday's. We are 367 days apart.
I blogged last summer about our meeting and wedding. Leroy and I will celebrate our 10 year anniversary this November, hence why he is my Y2K guy. I know some of you may wonder why there are no pictures of Leroy on my blog. It's not that I don't want any, it's just that he is a very shy guy. He is my complete opposite. He is, as my aunt once called him, my Rock. He keeps me grounded.
After 10 years of marriage, Leroy continues to surprise me. He loves ACDC, Neil Young, TransSiberian Orchestra, but also groups like the King's Singers. I love his ability to appreciate music in all forms. He has increased my music appreciation and I thought I was already well rounded. I love that he plays all forms of music around the children so that they can appreciate music in all its forms. My daughter can be heard singing along to a few of our cds now. (TSO's Beethoven is one of her particular favourites). Thomas has loved Neil Young since he was a baby and Sam just likes anything with a good percussion (I'm praying he won't be a future drummer, but it looks that way).
Spem in Alium is Leroy's favourite song by the King Singers. I'm listening to it as I write. It is traditionally sung by 8 choirs. These men did it between the 6 of them. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do and that you reflect on the words - I have never put my hope in any other but you.

- Spem in alium nunquam habui praeter in te
- Deus Israel
- qui irasceris
- et propitius eris
- et omnia peccata hominum in tribulatione dimittis
- Domine Deus
- Creator coeli et terrae
- respice humilitatem nostram
(English Translation)
- I have never put my hope in any other but in you,
- O God of Israel
- who can show both anger
- and graciousness,
- and who absolves all the sins of suffering man
- Lord God,
- Creator of Heaven and Earth
- be mindful of our lowliness

Have a Happy Birthday you two. May the Lord grant you a fantastic year!
Hi! Loved reading your back posts of your marriage and salvation story.
Happy birthday to you and your sweetie! I truly enjoyed that song, not my usual style of music, but it was amazing. Thank you for being a part of Music Monday each week. :O)
Happy birthday to you two, hope you have special days!!
What a beautiful song. I was trying to figure out which man was hitting the high notes. They all have amazing voices.
Thanks for your comments yesterday. I hear you on the clothing selection, believe me. I can't believe how frumpy some of the clothes are, but then again, I can't believe how racy some of them are, either. Sigh. I don't want to look like I'm in my 50's, but I don't really want to dress all trendy like Hannah Montana. It's a battle I tell ya... :)
Hope you have a great day!!
Erin
