In anticipation of construction work to be done around my apartment over the next few weeks, I'm getting my recording done early this month, hence:

I have two more contributions for this collection:

I'd like to withdraw my previous submission and replace it with this trilogy where the order matters.

The last one has two small mistakes, but the meaning is the same. At 0:53, I said "hills" instead of "hill" and, at 5:23, I said "a sad and fervent" instead of "a sad, a fervent" prayer."
