12/17/2021 – “Comfort Ye My People” from Handel’s Messiah – sung by Kyle Stegall, tenor – American Bach Society soloist / 6 min.
While at the library yesterday, I also picked up: “The Lives and Times of the Great Composers” by Michael Steen (ISBN # 978-0-19-5222218-0. I will most likely only get through the first two composers of twenty composers listed in birth order, that being Handel and Bach. They were both born in 1685, divergent personalities and composing styles but I shall learn more.
Random note: Heaven is perfect so maybe I will choose the heavenly choir. Even if I were just equal to this young soloist, I could spend alot of time just singing the classics. haha And , 1st trivial task: Dunking a basketball, a first for me. Or baseball, hitting a legitimate home run, another first, even though I had around 6 years of organized baseball.
Soli Deo Gloria!; Enjoy..
