All praise to all the Blessed Gods, who reign from deepest deep to the highest height. I offer you fine frankincense. Bend your ears and grant your blessing.

For the technically curious: The recording of the Fanfare to All the Blessed Gods was made at Pekin Inn Recording, performance and recording by Kallimakhos. One microphone was used for the entire recording of both the vocal and the lyre: a Microtech Gefel UM70S. One channel of an API 3124M+ served as the pre-amp for the microphone. The mixer was a Neotek-1E. Reverb: TC Electronic REVERB 4000. Some compression was applied using a Pendulum Audio ES-8. The microphone went through a custom built compressor based on the schematic of an LA2A. The mix-down deck is a Marantz CDR640.
