THE PERMISSIBLE DELIGHTS OF THE SOUL.

Soli Deo Gloria

The permissible delights of the soul

"To strip human nature until its divine attributes are made clear, to inform ordinary activities with spiritual fervor, to give wings of eternity to that which is most ephemeral; to make divine things human and human things divine; such is Bach, the greatest and purest moment in music of all time."

Pablo Casals

"Bach is like an astronomer who, with the help of ciphers, finds the most wonderful stars."

Frederic Chopin

“The work is sublime and compassionate, graceful, warm, and relentlessly intricate, a demonstration of unmatched craft in music history and genuine, poetic imagination.”

John Keillor
