BACH to Thankfulness

"Arguably the greatest composer to have lived did not start from scratch"

This special Thanksgiving episode of Musically Speaking brings an episode of Redeemer Talk, where I discuss one of the most well-known hymns of this season of the year to highlight the often-forgotten trait of thankfulness in church music and culture. Hear excerpts from J.S. Bach's Cantata 192, 79, and Mendelssohn's Symphony 5 fourth movement.

A written version of this post was published in the Classical Difference magazine in 2019. You can read that here. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Thank you for your interest in and support of Musically Speaking!
