Julia Herzog is the soloist in this beautiful Andante by Bach accompanied by Fontane Liang on harp; and David Booth the guitarist on this piece which he wrote himself and entitled Maria es libre.

A brief look at making sure that we avoid self-pity lest it fragment our heart and lead to us becoming constitutional complainers!

Torelli: Christmas Concerto

Vivaldi: Violin concerto, A minor, RV 365, Opus 3, no.6, 1st movt.

Bach: Sonata in E minor for flute/recorder BWV 1034, Andante

Unconditional love pouring over me.

Unconditional love has set me free from the past

and all that it could hold.

Unconditional love pouring over my soul.

Chosen, loved and qualified: No matter where we have been or haven't been; no matter what we have done or haven't done; no matter how important we are or are not, we are "qualified to share in the inheritance of His holy people in the kingdom of light." (Col. 1:12)

God speaks even from the margins and through the apparently least likely all He requires is that we are prepared to face the things He is showing us to avoid the wrong kind of fragmentation developing in our hearts.

Linda Entwistle wrote the beautifully calming piece of music which she entitled Blessed are the Poor, and which we hope will really help you to focus on the words.

Many people feel that Beethoven’s string quartets represented his crowning achievement. Enjoy this vigorous rendering of one of the final Allegros from his String Quartet No. 4 in C minor (Opus 18). It speaks of busy sparkling times, which, whilst they may not leave us much room for rest, nevertheless present us with numerous opportunities. May we be swift to seize them!

May the deeply Celtic feel to this piece bring something from God’s own heart and lead you in spirit to wherever He would take you!

The Lord recently gave Jane Horsfall a set of songs inspired by the music and unique pilgrimage of His chosen people of Israel. She named this piece Distant Lands, thinking not only of their seventy year sojourn in Babylon, but also of the millions of Jews who went to Poland. The piece speaks of yearning for the homeland. May the Lord use its great beauty to call people back to Himself, and to inspire us to pray for the countless numbers who are separated now from their own land and people.

Allegro from Vivaldi Concerto in A minor RV365

Vivaldi’s genius is just incomparable – his variety, anointing and impact on the soul. May the Lord bless you through this decidedly vivacious Allegro!

Vivaldi - played by Francis Cummings, Grace Lee, Chian and Claire Lewis-Lim, Susannah Herzog, Jo Garcia, Rebecca Whettam and Peter Richards.

Chanson d’aube Linda Entwistle

Linda wrote a whole series of reflective instrumental pieces for us a few years ago. This one is “The Song of the Dawn.” It is a song that reflects the fresh feeling you get when you wake up and start a new day in the Lord, and feel ready to face it because you are living it with and for Him, rejoicing that His grace is new every morning . . .
