Sunday morning music
As regular readers are aware, I've been a fan of Mike Oldfield's music since his first album, *Tubular Bells*, which came out in 1973. To date, he's released 26 studio albums, and is a giant in the field of progressive rock and many other genres. He's also given plenty of attention to more traditional forms. His 17th album, *Voyager,* released in 1996, celebrated Celtic music in a wonderful combination of acoustic and orchestral performances. It remains one of my favorites. The final track on that album, Mont St. Michel, is a musical homage to the island monastery off the co... more »
