Hey, the Feast of the Presentation falls on a Sunday this year! That's as good a reason as any to post this full-band recording of my setting of Simeon's song:

&amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="<a href="http://stevethorngate.bandcamp.com/album/the-luke-canticles">http://stevethorngate.bandcamp.com/album/the-luke-canticles</a>" data-mce-href="<a href="http://stevethorngate.bandcamp.com/album/the-luke-canticles">http://stevethorngate.bandcamp.com/album/the-luke-canticles</a>"&amp;amp;amp;gt;The Luke Canticles by Steve Thorngate&amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;gt;

Hear all three Luke canticles and more here, or see my Facebook page. My Simeon setting is also on this recent compilation from Cardiphonia.
