A life in seven movements

Some time ago, our church home group members took turns to select music that told a story of their lives and to play selections. This were my choices.
  • WA Mozart. Symphony no. 41, 'Jupiter'. 4th mov - Finale
  • Waverley Mission. Zeph 3.17. 'The Lord thy God' & Ps 92.13. 'Those that be planted'
  • Richard Strauss. 'Waldesligkeit' & 'Morgen'.
  • Jimmy Sommerville. Singles Collection 1984-1990. 'To love somebody.'
  • Paul Simon. 'Graceland' from the album of the same name.
  • WA Mozart.Così fan Tutte. Overture.
  • Jan Garbeck / Hilliard Ensemble. 'Sanctus' from the album Officium

A break and Bach

St. John PassionNot too much is taing a break during Lent. Its author needs a rest, as do its readers (if any) most likely.
But have been rehearsing and performing in CAMRA and Igitur Nos's presentation of
J.S. Bach
St. John Passion

with Daniel McMillan as The Evangelist
and a full choir, soloists and chamber orchestra
directed by Matthew Stuckings

Friday 27 and Sunday 29 March 2009, 3pm, St Philip's Church, O'Connor

A lament for 2008? That's the way it goes

That's the way it goes George Harrison
There's a man talking on the radio
What he's saying I don't really know
Seems he's lost some stocks and shares
Stops and stares
He's afraid I know
That's the way it goes

There's a man talking of the promised land
He'll acquire it with some Krugerrand
Subdivide and deal it out
Feel his clout
He can stoop so low
And that's the way it goes

There's an actor who hopes to fit the bill
Sees a shining city on a hill
Step up close and see he's blind
Wined and dined
All he has is pose
And that's the way it goes

There's a fire that burns away the lies
Manifesting in the spiritual eye
Though you won't understand the way I feel
You conceal, all there is to know
That's the way it goes
