Peace and Joy

From my other life -
Played my last holiday party tonight, and happily listened to Bach on the drive home. And last night was my last Messiah concert. For me, the holiday season is not complete without Handel's Messiah and WKCR's annual Bach Fest.

No matter how many times I play Handel's Messiah, it always makes me happy. The purity, grace, and balance of that work is sublime. That this work was created at some point in the history of man gives me hope for us.

No matter what your beliefs, no matter what you celebrate or don't, please accept my wish for Peace and Joy for you and all the world.

OK, I can't resist adding this video from last year because it's just so much fun.

I hope your holiday was terrific and joyful.

I, too, love Bach, and the videos are great.
