This issue has come up in a couple of complaints I have received over the years. "Why do you play play such loud and discordant music sometimes? I was looking for a quiet place to relax, and you spoiled it!" one such complaint went. Well I can only point to the heritage we have been given in the West of classic church music: some of it is "soft", and some is "loud". And by season, the prevailing music can be quietly contemplative, perhaps plaintive in character...and sometimes it is loud, raucous and celebratory.
I post this in order to give those who favor "soft music" fair warning. Lent is a season replete with the softer, more contemplative music without accompaniment the folks who like "soft" music crave. But Easter, season that it is---full of the earth-shattering joy and wonderment of the resurrection of all creation through Our Lord and God---is bound to be a bit louder. Even raucous in places! Such is the nature of the repertoire this station features, given the season at hand. So Easter will feature at times that kind of obstreperous expression of joy, and it might get loud at times. And at 64mp3PRO, it will be at CD-quality!
So now you have been warned---or maybe heartened that the joys of Easter have been promised! We will make a joyful noise unto the Lord, as commanded and as the Spirit leads us in faith and gratitude.
