    It inspires me in life, how firstly, from what I understand from some youtube comment which I sadly cannot find anymore, Myra kept playing during the bombing of London, and so helped keep the citizens' spirit up, wonderful thing. And how because of this, a soldier may be found, perhaps unknowingly, whistling a hymn to the glory of Jesus Christ.
    And when I had newly come to faith, I found this song the closest match to describing the ever upwards flowing peace and joy of God's Holy Spirit's presence. Of course no music ever can really describe it, just like there are no words that can describe it. There are also no words to properly describe the horror of being about to die in one's sins. Which is why, I guess, so many people don't care about the suffering around us, because they haven't experienced intense pain themselves?
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    During the Second World War when, with all concert halls blacked out at night to avoid being targeted by German bombers, Myra Hess organised what would turn out to be almost 2,000 lunchtime concerts spanning a period of six years, starting during The Blitz bombing of London. The concerts were held at the National Gallery, in Trafalgar Square. Hess began her lunchtime concerts a few weeks after the start of the war. They were presented on Monday to Friday, for six-and-a-half years without fail. If London was being bombed, the concert was moved to a smaller, safer room. Every artist was paid five guineas, no matter who they were. - Wikipedia.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    Myra Hess's (1890-1965) perofrmance of her very famous arrangement of Bach's Chorale "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring".
    Her favourite anecdote relating to "Jesu, Joy" concerned a British soldier who whistled it on a train during the war.
    "Are you interested in Bach?", the soldier was asked by a journalist.
    "No", he answered.
    "But you are whistling a Bach composition", the newsman insisted.
    "That's no Bach", he replied indignantly. "That's Myra Hess."
    (From Marian McKenna's "Myra Hess -- A Portrait")

    In 1954 I bought my first record player together with a record (78 rev.). It was Jesu Joy of Man's Desire, played by Myra Hess. It made such an impression on me that each time I hear this, the same emotions of the first time are again there. Wonderful, with the high notes flying like butterflies around the theme.

Determinism states that the American men sailing toward Omaha Beach were meant to die that day, but the Knight arrived in shining armor and rerouted those lives. The Knight could've acted selfishly, watched as we lived out our lives, but he chose not to. With the Knight, death is no longer a deterministic guarantee. At any time, at any place, the Knight can save us.

    It's beautiful beyond words, Paul. It makes me want to practice piano again after good ten years or so. (Not that I ever was very good at it.) Thank You!

    Of course this is Bach. It's so beautiful.

      I love this piece but it doesn't sound very baroque to me! It sounds quite contemporary, but maybe that speaks to the timelessness and genius of Bach.

    Wonderful.....you play with wonderful, phrasing, like breathing and meditation.....I can play this piece, but need to practice presentation more. It’s hard to think of how others “hear your playing”.....thank you....senior in 🇨🇦
