A Book of Hours: Music, Literature, and Life

This is a personal memoir, cast in the form of a secular breviary, that recreates a year Father Owen Lee spent teaching at an American college campus in Rome over a quarter century ago.  Father Lee is by day a classics professors, but has also been a beloved presence on the Metropolitan Operas's Saturday afternoon Chevron-Texaco broadcasts for over 20 years  - and is an ever-insightful commentator on operatic stories, music and themes.
