Tribute to J.S.

Johann Sebastian was his name,
a musicians musician and
composers composer. He
believed he was created
in Gods image, and in that
image he never tired of creating.
Ahead of his time, a prophet
of sound, rarely accepted in
his home town and nation.
Yet inspired with life-breathing
Spirit to give birth to over
one-hundred-and-ninety
compositions. He shared his
God-given gift with humankind,
inspiring all lovers of music
with his Brandenburgs, Goldbergs,
St. Matthew and St. John Passions,
the Mass in B minor, and
weekly liturgical choral pieces.
King of the organ with Toccatas
and Fugues, endless scores of
extraordinary rigour, beauty and grace.
All offered in humble service to
forever praise his Lord and God.
