One more item for Christmas: the concert from
First Methodist in Pittsburgh where my friend
Tim is the Music Director. I'm at the piano.
Actually, for the first piece Tim and I are both
at the piano, which was a barrel of fun!

Your Christmas presents, a
bit early:
Our special choral service ("The Word Sung")
took place on December 8th. For the opening
prelude, here is the first movement of J. S.
Bach's Keyboard Concerto in D Major with members
of the Pittsburgh Symphony orchestra.
(Video should start at 5:32)
And now the main course: J.
S. Bach's Christmas Oratorio, part one, in which
we are joined by the rest of our very fine
orchestra, and the choir and soloists of SPC. If
the electronica isn't working out for some
reason, the video is supposed to start at 35:05
and end at 42:49.
And if that isn't enough Bach, and you would
like to know something about the music and the
composer, as well as see an interview with the
soloists, here is an explanatory
video.
We wrapped with the last movement
of the Bach Keyboard Concerto in D Major, again
with myself at the piano and some very fine PSO
players:
