Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Does anyone know if there is a website to help with our music - eg today we were listening to Schubert's Trout Quintetand I was trying to identify the instrument we were hearing - could hear violin and piano but could not figure out the rest. Same with Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture yesterday - could not identify all the instruments.

I am hoping there is a website which will give some history about a piece of music, what instruments are used and some other musical information.

Thanks Helen. BBC 3 used to be one of my favorite radio channels when I lived in the UK!
