A great loss to us all - IIRC, in that version he pioneered period instruments and a truer redaction of Handel's own performances.

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

This is the Arabic character "nun" – the first letter of the word "Nazarene." I post it as my avatar in solidarity with people of all faiths suffering persecution at the hands of Islam. Many of them are members of the oldest of our Christian Communities, dating from the days of the Apostles. They endure cruel, merciless and unrelenting persecution. They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors they, and we, are all "Nazarenes."

Fascinating how Bach uses the violin as an extra voice within the schola.

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))

Lessons today? Choir practice?

[SandRat]

Good evening, Kathy...((HUGS))
A blessed Lords Day to you.

Ready for the trip to the GrSons on the day before Christmas.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I’m glad you liked it.

[ConorMacNessa]

Indeed! And Bach gave tenors - both as soloists and choristers - some of the greatest - and most difficult - passages to sing. After the B-Minor Mass, as a humble tenor chorister - I found little left to conquer.

And for all voice parts - the greatest, bar none! To him, the voice was an instrument, and he exploited it like no one else in the entire Canon.

One of his best known tunes. This version permits one to hear the “walking bass” accompaniment.

[ConorMacNessa]

And one of my favorites - easily within my voice. Sadly, I have had no opportunity to sing it in a liturgy. It's not part of the Catholic tradition, at least auf Deutsch, and I refuse to render it in English.

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.

[Publius]

It’s one of those situations where the Lutherans have an advantage.

[ConorMacNessa]

In some respects - I would very much like to discuss this with you - but not at this moment.

Perhaps by email or phone?

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

God Bless you good, Mac. *HUGS* Good night and rest well.
Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present.
Thank you for your service to our country.

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.

Thanks, unique.

Good to hear that you are finally feeling better.
