In this time of isolation, our new technological world has allowed us to reach out through this wonderful medium. I want to share this video with you. It is a brief talk on two pieces from J. S. Bach’s B Minor Mass, which musically and.spiritually sums up the deep sentiment of this Holy weekend.,especially now with such emptiness. Our places of worship, our communities and the Tomb are all empty, but on Easter Sunday let us fill our hearts and souls with the fullness of Bach’s life-affirming belief.
After this talk please be sure to listen to the youtube recording of John Eliot Gardner and the Monteverdi Choir’s rendition of Crucifixcus and Et Resurrexit.
