I received this abundance of goodness from Thee, I offer these nourishments for the soul with gratitude and humility, reverence, and faith to all of Thy Creatures while we endure and serve as best as we can with Thy grace in the midst of the devastating Global ramifications of the Pandemic.
In The Insecurity of Freedom, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote: “All we have are words in the liturgy and reverence in our hearts. But even these two are often apart from each other. It is the task of music to bring them together.”
Rabbi Pinchas of Koretz (disciple of the Baal Shem Tov, 18th C.) wrote: “When a man (person) is singing and cannot lift his voice, and another comes and sings with him, another who can lift his voice, then the first will be able to lift his voice too. That is the secret of the bond between spirit and spirit.”
“Music is the art which is most nigh to tears and memory,” writes renowned Irish author and poet Oscar Wilde. From the sanctuary to the hospital room, we know that the sounds of music can promote healing and strength for those in need
The compositions for the Lent and Easter holidays include Missa Solemnis, Mass in C. Minor, Hallelujah Chorus, and other Sacred Choruses, by R. Shaw, Berlioz’ Requiem, Handel’s Messiah -Paul McCreesh, Messiah – The Dream Cast- Decca, Berlioz’ Requiem, Cesar Franck’s Les Beatitudes- Hemuth Rilling, Joseph Hayden Last 7 Words of Christ, Cesar Franck’s-Seven Last Words of Christ- Toulouse Chamber Orchestra and Alan Moglia.[I’m listening to this online now.] Some of these I listen online and others with my CD player and surround sound and speakers in the four corners of the room. Vishwam, and Bronwen, Prema, and I sat spellbound in the fabled Carnegie Hall, and absorbed a magnificent three-hour uninterrupted concert conducted by Yannick Nézet-Ségui, Conductor of the Philadelphia Philharmonic who brought his entire orchestra and choir[150 members] and 4 soloists and delivered an unforgettable performance. It was moving and very spiritually satisfying. It gave life to the original intent of the Master, Beethoven who composed this for Archduke Rudolf of Austria, Archbishop of Olmütz, who was Beethoven’s foremost patron, pupil, and friend. I listen to the CD at home to help me get through my challenges.
I received this abundance of goodness from Thee, I offer these nourishments for the soul with gratitude and humility, reverence, and faith to all of Thy Creatures while we endure and serve as best as we can with Thy grace in the midst of the devastating Global ramifications of the Pandemic.
While attempting to live by this precept of Prophet Micah He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8 By serving all of your creatures with all my strength to my last breath I strive to serve Thee, my Lord, Amen.
