Monday Music Appreciation #67: O come, O come

Yesterday was all about Joy. But this morning, I'm feeling the effects of Bondi Beach and Brown University happenings. I had thought to share something from Handel's Messiah, but this somehow seems more apropos. The beauty of the arrangement and the voices singing touches something deep in me.

The yearning for God-with-us, Emmanuel, becomes very strong when we are faced with these kinds of tragedies where innocent people die because of... what? There seems no good explanation.

 I spent a lot of time listening to this beautiful choral piece this morning. May it bring you some consolation and an impetus to push for a world without violence, where God's Wisdom reigns.
