Baroque

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j_pzgVyGNU

Here's a taste of baroque music. Anyone know who Johann Sebastian Bach is? That's wrong. He's a baroque music composer, well- known for his talent in contrapuntal technique used in his music. Such a talented composer is one-in-a-million. Why then, did this great destiny fall on this Bach guy? The reason is simple. He was a God-Zion-loving being.

David, an impersonation of Bach in that sense, was one too. Do you know that the book of PSALMS was written by David? He alone composed all those touching and heavenly Psalms which no one could possibly have done without godly inspiration. I believe, the Lord blesses those who love and worship him. Just like David, who plays on his harp and sing to the Lord whenever the spirit of worship fills his heart, he was blessed with this talent to make heavenly music soothing to the ears, comforting to the heart.

Bach composed music ranging from secular to religious works. The link up there is one example of his religious works. If you are listening to it right now, enjoy the sublime and exquisite harmony of the different parts coming together as one piece of music, AND know that God is behind these wonders.
