The waning crescent retreats.
Courage it will seek.
Leadership will find
the beauty that binds.
The word will be heard
in the course of time for sure.
The hunter seeks his prey
in fields of green with sage.
His truck waits to take the game away.
Heaven had been set ablaze.
The elements blended in colors that amazed
with each passing phase.
One more powerful is coming after me
to build upon what has passed through the storm for you to see
and believe in what has been tested by natural elementality.
The fan with the weather vane turns forever.
It wanes with the whirl on the rod that holds it together.
It spins and whirls when it wins with the wind
over the dust that blows against the grainage bin.
The dark hours for being
deepen my mind for seeing.
You, dear darkness.
You are above and all around us.
You provide cover from that which could cause a fuss,
but it is hard to see that which alarms because it can harm us.
The light that shines is reflected
to show that which can be detected.
Light from the waning moon is barely seen through the trees.
The empty field wants to believe that the dark heat can be relieved with a sneeze.
The stars twinkle when clouds do not obscure.
The viewing of the viewer is more certainly secure in the unsure
than the view of what's sure about what endures.
That which endures is there.
The vision of it is spare even when you stare.
I just don't care about finding the bear's lair.
I want to find the square corner of the stair
to my cubic welfare.
The power of less is more
when you're ruling out that which is not the door
you hope to procure.
Where is the emblem of my safety?
It is not so close that it will chafe me.
Let me hear that which will be spoken
about the hope that my work won't be stolen by the shogun.
There have been times when leadership was good.
Executive authority put the body on track towards what could
be done for the should of what we could do if only we would.
There was an override for policies headed for destruction.
Profit was limited to legal means for production
and construction.
Investment in employment
was used to cap spending for weapon deployment.
There was a context to balance the budget.
Responsibility produced integrity. Fate couldn't budge it.
There were times when lower legislation had placed itself over the law.
Liberal consensus sought to exploit the flaw.
Greed had been put over power.
Authority was aimed to make dissent cower.
It overrode anything for any reason
without accountability for the season.
Profit from destruction had been made absolute
It was the route for the suit to loot.
The official story was propaganda.
It sold terror by memoranda.
The report of war was not for winning.
The tale was told for the trill of spinning.
Exploitation was the name of the game.
People were sold by the flame of shame.
Official facts were organized around profit for personal gain.
The reign in Spain stayed mainly above the plain.
Liberal banks supported oil for the deployment of weapons.
Even the ozone was threatened as the essence of heaven.
Taking taxes by controlling government as a spoil of war
must have seemed easier than competition. It was the market's back door.
Favor for the objective goodness of provision
was subjected to the greatest derision.
The need to feed need instead of greed
became the commodity to seed with speed
so it wouldn't recede.
We must proceed
with the precision of the decision to lead.
Restoration will be achieved by faith.
Faith will make the tenacity of love our eighth wraith.
The wrath of this wraith will make us great.
Love will spring up from the ground.
Justice will ring as the sound
all around.
Where it had been said, 'You people are too odd'
they will be called 'Children of the living God.'
Providence will increase its yield.
Grain will grow in the field.
Goodness will shine from inside.
Purpose will act as our guide
to make the path to liberty
the probability of prosperity
for posterity with clarity
as our temerity.
Integrity in finding truth
will define purpose for the voting booth.
Faith will restore us to power with integrity
to make equity the solidarity for our identity
in the density of necessity.
Peace is the reward for the faithful.
Happiness avoids pain and disdains the wasteful.
Have faith despite evidence to the contrary.
Knowledge in the library is a repository
to overcome the adversarial adversity
of the arbitrary.
You have been gracious to your land.
You have restored good fortune by your hand.
You have forgiven our iniquity.
You blotted out our errors from antiquity.
There is ubiquity in the sight of light.
We have been turned from the plight of blight
caused by the lack of insight.
What are the elemental spirits according to Christ?
What is benign about the design that partiality sacrificed?
Restore us to your favor
O God our Savior.
Let your admonishment
help us to learn with astonishment
that joy itself is an intoxicant.
Divine pleasure has been the treasure
that said your anger would not last forever.
Let us see your joy in our life again
that your people may rejoice as we ascend
to amend the error that condemned a friend
when a better way did contend
to lie ahead or descend.
Show us as your nation
the way to your salvation.
Music shapes feeling with sound
to make it easier to understand the meaning found.
I will listen to what the Lord God has said
when he spoke of peace as our daily bread
to those who turned their hearts to him to wed.
Honor the Father's name as holy
that the Son may govern his realm boldly.
Give us our daily bread in time
that we may avoid causing the damage identified as crime.
Forgive us our sins to help us find our way past error
that each in our way may be a Christ bearer.
Do not bring us to the time of trial
that we may learn to appeal to the rival
to derive benign survival without reprisal.
Have faith.
Peace is the reward for the grateful way. ;)

Johann Sebastian Bach
b. 3.21.1685 Eisenach
d. 7.28.1750 Leipzig
J.S. Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He is known for instrumental compositions such as the Art of Fugue, the Brandenburg Concertos and the Goldberg Variations.
His vocal music includes the St Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. He has been generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of the Western musical canon since the 19th century Bach Revival.
Bach enriched established German styles through his mastery of counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation. He adapted rhythms, forms and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France.
His compositions include hundreds of cantatas, both sacred and secular. He composed Latin church music, Passions, oratorios and motets. He often adopted Lutheran hymns in his four-part chorales and sacred songs as well as his larger vocal works.
He wrote extensively for organ and for other keyboard instruments. He composed concertos for the violin and harpsichord. His suites were written for chamber music as well as for orchestra. Many of his works employ contrapuntal genres such as fugue.
He was born in Eisenach, Germany in the 17th century.
Eisenach
Eisenach is situated on the Hörsel river, a tributary of the Werra between the Thuringian Forest in the south, the Hainich mountains in the north-east and the East Hesse Highlands in the north-west. It is the main urban center of western Thuringia. It borders the northeastern Hessian regions near the former Inner German border. A major attraction is the Wartburg castle.
The young Martin Luther attended St. George's Latin school in Eisenach between 1498 and 1501 in preparation for his following studies at the University of Erfurt.
He was hidden by Frederick the Wise at Wartburg castle to protect him from the Imperial ban in 1521. He translated the New Testament from Greek into German at that time.
The translation was an important step both for the German Reformation and the development of a consistent German standard language.
Luther referred to Eisenach as ein Pfaffennest ("a clerical backwater"). There were 300 monks and nuns per 1,000 inhabitants during his time.
There was heavy fighting in the area during the Bauernkrieg in 1525. The Bauernkrieg was the German Peasants' War.
The war consisted, like the preceding Bundschuh movement and the Hussite Wars, of a series of both economic and religious revolts in which peasants and farmers supported by Anabaptist clergy took the lead.
The Lutheran Reformation was implemented in Eisenach in 1528.
It became a ducal residence for the house of Saxe-Eisenach in 1596.
Johann Ambrosius Bach (1645-95) worked there as a musician in the 17th century. He was employed as a court trumpeter and director of the town musicians.
Johann Christoph Bach (1645-93) was his twin brother. Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) and Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) were other composers associated with the location during the same period.
Johann Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian was born in Eisenach on March 31, 1685. He was the son of Johann Ambrosius Bach and Maria Elisabeth Lämmerhirt. He was the eighth and youngest child.
His father probably taught him basic music theory and how to play the violin and harpsichord. His uncles were professional musicians. His brother Johann Christoph Bach taught him the clavichord and exposed him to much of the contemporary music.
Bach's mother died in 1694. His father died eight months later. The 10-year-old Johann Sebastian moved in with his eldest brother, Johann Christoph (1671–1721). He was the organist at St. Michael's Church in Ohrdruf, Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg.
He studied, performed and copied music there. He copied his own brother's music despite being forbidden to do so. Scores were valuable and private. Blank ledger paper of that type was costly.
He received valuable instruction. His brother taught him to play the clavichord. He was exposed to the works of great composers of the day including South German composers such as Johann Pachelbel. Johann Christoph had been taught by Pachelbel.
He studied North German composers; Frenchmen; and the Italian clavierist Girolamo Frescobaldi. He was taught theology, Latin, Greek, French and Italian at the local gymnasium during this time.
Johann Sebastian enrolled in St. Michael's School in Luneberg by 3 April 1700. George Erdmann was his elder by 2 years. They traveled on foot for 2 weeks until they arrived north of Ohrdruf.
Johann Sebastian spent 2 years there. He was exposed to a wider range of European culture. He played the school's three-manual organ and harpsichords in addition to singing in the choir.
He came into contact with sons of aristocrats from northern Germany who were sent to the highly selective school to prepare for careers in other disciplines. He had access to St. John's Church.
He used the church's famous organ from 1553. The instrument was known to have been played by his organ teacher Georg Böhm. Bach had significant contact with Böhm.
He also took trips to nearby Hamburg where he observed the North German organist Johann Adam Reincken. Organ tabulatures that Bach wrote were discovered in 2005. They showed the disciplined and methodical work of a well trained teenager who was committed to his craft.
He married his cousin, Maria Barbara Bach, in 1708. When he became court organist to the Duke of Weimar he wrote his principal compositions for the organ. He became music director (Kapellmeister) to Prince Leopold of Coethen in 1717. His wife died in 1720.
He married Anna Magdalena Wuelcken in 1721. He composed a famous set of keyboard pieces for her. He was at Leipzig from 1723 until his death in 1750. He taught, conducted, sang, played and composed. He had 20 children. Only 9 survived him. Four of these are also remembered as composers.
Bach wrote a considerable amount of music for worship in addition to his secular music. He drew on the German tradition of hymn-tunes and arranged many of them as cantatas with elaborate choir settings for most stanzas. A plain four-part setting for the final stanza was to be sung by the congregation with the choir.
Each stanza normally used the melody traditional for that hymn with variations, particularly in the harmony, that reinforced the meaning of the words of that stanza. He wrote nearly two hundred cantatas altogether.
There were at least two for each Sunday and holy day in the Lutheran church year. The subject of the cantata was matched with that of the Scripture readings prescribed for that day.
Two of the better known are "Christ lag in Todesbanden" (Christ lay in the bonds of death"), based on an Easter hymn by Martin Luther; and "Jesu, meine Freude" (Jesus, all my gladness).
Accounts of the suffering and death of Jesus Christ are called the Passion. It is an ancient custom of the Church that during Holy Week the Gospel readings shall be from the accounts of the Passion.
When possible, these accounts are to be read, not by a single reader, but with the speeches of different persons read by different readers. Statements from the crowd are read by the choir or the congregation. These parts may be spoken or chanted to a simple tune.
Bach wrote an elaborate musical setting for the St Matthew Passion, and again for the St John Passion. The Gospel narrative is sung by a soloist with the dialog by other singers. Commentary by the choir is expressed in the form of hymns and more elaborate pieces.
He also wrote a setting for the traditional Latin Liturgy. This is his famous B Minor Mass. The Liturgy is the Order for the Celebration of the Lord's Supper and the Administration of Holy Communion. It is commonly called the Mass. It is divided into the Ordinary which is the same every time and the Propers that vary each day such as the Bible readings.
The choral parts of the Ordinary include the Kyrie ("Lord, have mercy"), the Gloria ("Glory to God in the highest"), the Credo ("I believe in one God, the Father Almighty..."), the Sanctus-benedictus ("Holy, Holy, Holy" and "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord") and the Agnus Dei ("O Lamb of God...").
Bach wrote choir settings for these. Luther did not reject the Mass. It is not surprising that a devout Lutheran would write choir settings for the celebration of the Eucharist. The language of the Liturgy is ancient. It contains the Apostolic logic taught by Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist and Presbyterian churches.
Four-part harmonies predate Bach, but he lived during a time when modal music in Western tradition was largely supplanted in favor of the tonal system. A piece of music progresses in this system from one chord to the next according to certain rules. Each chord is characterized by four notes.
The principles of harmony are found not only in Bach's four-part choral music. He also prescribes it for instance for the figured bass accompaniment.
The new system was at the core of his style. His compositions are to a large extent considered as laying down the rules for the evolving scheme that would dominate musical expression in the next centuries.
Another characteristic of Bach's style is his extensive use of counterpoint. This was different from the homophony used in his four-part Chorale settings. His canons, and especially his fugues, are most characteristic of this style.
He did not invent the form but contributed so fundamentally that he defined it to a large extent. Fugues are as characteristic to his style as the Sonata form represents the composers of the Classical period.
Bach's work is not simply a matter of supplying pleasant-sounding melody and chords. There occurs the line in the Creed for example, "And I believe one holy catholic and apostolic Church."
There are two melodies sung by the choir in Bach's setting of this line, simultaneously. One is a traditional plainchant melody, most frequently sung by Roman Catholics. The other is a Lutheran chorale melody. The two melodies are interwoven and they harmonize perfectly.
Bach was not just a musical composer. He was a Christian and a preacher of the Gospel.
