Page CXVI of CS Lewis

You can now download the second album of modernised hymns from Page CXVI, for the cost of $9.99 USD. They are also offering the first album as a free download this week. I know a lot of readers in the blog circles I frequent downloaded that album the first time around, but if you didn't then it's worth a listen. (You can also listen to a sample of the second album online.)

I don't recall reading where the name Page CXVI came from the first time around, but I have read it just now on their website. It's a reference to page 116 of The Magician's Nephew, and is classic CS Lewis, with a hint of Sehnsucht, writing about how Aslan began to sing Narnia into creation:

In the darkness something was happening at last. A voice had begun to sing. It was very far away and Digory found it hard to decide from what direction is was coming. Sometimes it seemed to come from all directions at once. Sometimes he almost thought it was coming out of the earth beneath them. Its lower notes were deep enough to be the voice of the earth herself. There were no words. There was hardly even a tune. But it was, beyond comparison, the most beautiful noise he had ever heard. It was so beautiful he could hardly bear it.
