There is an ancient tradition that the holy, righteous elder Simeon, who came from Egypt, was one of the Seventy learned Jews chosen in the days of the Pharoah Ptolemy Philadelphus (285-246 BC) for the task of rendering the Hebrew Bible into Greek, and that to Simeon was assigned the translation of the book of the Prophet Isaiah. -When he reached the famous passage where the Prophet foretells the virgin birth of Christ, saying: Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (Is. 7:14), he was so perplexed that he took a penknife to erase the word ‘virgin’ in order to replace it by ‘young woman’. -At that moment, an angel of God appeared and prevented him from altering the sacred text, explaining that what seemed impossible to him was, in fact, a prophecy of the coming into this world of the Son of God. -To confirm the truth of this, he promised that Simeon would not see death until he had seen and touched the Messiah born of the Virgin. -When, after many long years, Christ was brought into the Temple at Jerusalem by the All-Holy Mother of God, the Holy Spirit revealed to the Elder Simeon that the time of fulfilment of the promise had come. -He hurried to the Temple and, taking the Child in his arms, he was able to say wholeheartedly to God: Lord, now lettest thou Thy servant depart in peace according to Thy word, for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation (Luke 2:29). -For indeed, the Elder Simeon was the living image of the ancient Israel of the Old Testament, which having awaited the coming of the Messiah was ready to fade away and give place to the light and truth of the Gospel. -The relics of the holy and righteous Simeon were venerated at Constantinople in the church of St James, built at the time of the Emperor Justin.

When I was in early high school, I’d determined I’d wanted to pursure an undergraduate degree in music composition, as I had developed quite an affinity for classical music at this time, and had enjoyed composing solo guitar pieces. -My high school music teacher at the time however required that I spend some time learning the art of recording and audio engineering if I intended to study at music college. -After some initial resistance, I took to it, pivoted away from composition, began my undergraduate studies at Berklee College of Music, and later graduated with my degree in Music Production & Engineering.
