Last night I had a vacation day from work, and Dan and I went out to a concert by the Netherlands Bach Society, who played (and sang) the Great Mass, ie. the Mass in B Minor, BWV 232.
The concert was, appropriately enough, in a great big church in Ann Arbor rather than in a concert hall.
They were fantastic. They were awesome. The Great Mass is this long and glorious piece of music, and they were fully up to performing it with the greatest of skill. The singing was just angelic.
And walking out at the end, the night sky was perfectly clear, and you could see a crescent moon, with Venus shining so beautifully right by it. It was as if God approved of the performance, and shone his beauty down on the world.
