The front of my church, Westminster Presbyterian in Nashville. Took this while on my way to our Good Friday choral service. On Easter, that cross will be covered in flowers.
Bach: Matthäus-Passion, Aria “Mache dich, mein Herze, rein” (by FiDiTanzer528)
This week’s Classical Music Monday post is a little late, but I’m fighting some sort of sickness, so I stayed in bed most of the day. Today, I bring you the Aria “Mache dich, mein Herze, rein” along with its accompanying recitative, sung by the wonderful Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.
This post is a good one for today for 2 reasons - firstly, I’m learning it myself at the moment and it’s a great example for me; and secondly, it’s Holy Week right now. The text of this aria is perfect as we head toward Good Friday.
