    Thanks Krummhorn! I love this piece. It's beautiful. The top musicians
    at church wanted for me to listen to this Bach piece. It's much prettier
    than taccata & fugue. Has this piece been in a movie somewhere?

    Hi Judy,

    You ought to give yourself a chance to hear JSBach's Christmas Oratorio. In the first section there is an aria entitled *Grosser Herr, O Starke Konig* for the bass soloist. It is God's gift to the aria repertoire. What makes it special is the *dialogue* between the bass solist and the piccolo trumpet. The two are almost jousting with each other in a friendly way.

    Cheers,

    Corno Dolce

    *Protagoras: "Truth is subjective. What is true for you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Your opinion is true by virtue of its being your opinion."

    *Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."

    Sorry I couldn't get that piece Krummhorn. I tried but I'm on a different
    computer and it's a real pain in the kuester. I will look it up on Google.
    Thanks anyway.
