In 20?? I was invited to travel to Warsaw Poland to teach a series of Sacred Harp Singing Schools. I stayed in the Dominican Monastery in Warsaw which was strange and amazing. Knowing my enthusiasm for graveyards my host brother Blazej Matusiak took me to visit ______ cemetery.
Inspiration from Old Gravestones /
I think the world is divided into two types of people: those who like visiting graveyards and those who find it distasteful. I am clearly in the former camp. Graveyards are free, open-air, permanent museums of art and culture. They are such a reflection of the people who created them and how a culture values history and memory.
