Reuniting with Bach is bliss
December 3rd, 2009
In the spring of 2006, I went into a state of bliss as our voice class at the Canada National Voice Intensive was invited to move to a glorious piece of classical music. My body and inner world has kept it in silent memory without a name or melody to utter for the 2 and a half year search. And alas, today, I discovered that the song I was so longing to hear again is Bach’s Suite for cello solo No. 3 in C major. I have much gratitude for the Vancouver Public Library for having the CD by Daniel Shafran in its collection. This suite unlocks my sheltered heart and like a soft soothing breeze, releases my soul parts from the heat of intellect and my whole being is immersed in a joyful dance.
