    Daniel's the kid who took 4 of 6 prizes at the Foundation for Sacred Arts gig I won. I didn't even know about this contest. Frankly, I'm jealous. So I'm holding him out here to get the attaboy he richly deserves, both as a composer and as a human being.

    I'm not sure what this post is about - but I LOVE Vaclovas Augustinas' music. What a wonderful composer. There is some amazing choral music coming out of the Baltic nations.
