To all of my friends and followers I wish you the most merry of holiday times.  May the long nights be filled with warm blankets, hot chocolate, and holiday cheer.  Thank you for your time and engagement here at DWR I appreciate your comments and contributions to the blog.

Bach’s Mass in B minor BWV 232 needs no introduction.  It is “The Mass” that stands above all sacred works.  I present it here in full realized by the Netherlands Bach Society.

May the Mass take you where you need to go to pause and reflect on this time year.

Happy Holidays, Folks! Take care of yourselves.
