On this transmission of Hearts of Space from longtime guest producer for sacred and classical music ELLEN HOLMES: A TRIBUTE to NOTRE-DAME DE PARIS. Our Lady will rise again in the center of Paris, in all her Gothic magnificence. Over a billion Euros have been pledged to rebuild and restore the cathedral - a job that will take decades. The spire and most of the oak and lead roof were destroyed and the exterior was badly burned - while the irreplaceable relics, priceless artwork, rose windows, bell towers, and three pipe organs were not seriously damaged. When the fire was out, it was clear that it could have been much worse. For it to be destroyed would have been an insult to the global spirit, in a world that's already burdened by unprecedented challenges. Since the 12th century, Notre-Dame has been both a physical monument and a metaphysical symbol of the deepest aspirations and highest artistic values of humankind, at the center of one of the greatest cities on earth. You didn't have to be French, Catholic, or even believe in God to feel a profound sense of cultural loss. The fire at the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris in April 2019 sent shock waves of distress and sadness around the world.
