Heart Meditations for Good Friday and Easter
I found "Echoes from Calvary" by means of an article The San Francisco Chronicle by a writer named Peter Steinfels under the label of "beliefs". That said, as the title, "Haydn's music in recent words of Christ, a journey of transformation of the concert hall to sacred setting. "The text book is a meditation and is entitled" Echoes from Calvary: Meditations on Franz Joseph Haydn, The Seven Last Words of Christ ". This beautiful book has 2 CDs, full performance with the spoken word and a CD with music only. An interesting part the book is the first passing through the musical and spiritual journey of the man who put all this together, a musician named Richard Young.
Now I think this is a heavy duty to read because text is a Friday – why in the Easter season. That was when I read it. I am interested in the resurrection of a religious viewpoint, and of course the front door is Easter and Good Friday. There you are right.
Richard Young's spiritual journey is very well done and interesting, as a kind statement of personal reflection worthwhile. Sounds like it should. As part of Easter, there is a dimension of hope that this book, and I find sometimes dark and sometimes light. I think I reflect on the words that are offered in the homily as meditations. The first CD has musings of Martin Luther King Jr., Martin E. Marty, Raymond E. Brown, Jean Bethke Elshtain, Grover A. Zinn, Andrew M. Greeley, Peter J. Gomes and others.
There is an obvious fact of the work. One can not fail to be moved by both Christ's divinity and human nature of man. This book is respectful, as expected, and I think it is full of hope. These are the meditations of the heart for Good Friday and Easter. Through music and the texts of the meditations, one follows Christ, and knows something of his spirit. It is also a good exercise or a series examples of meditations by various writers who are clerics, giving a taste of its own depths, with each of the last words.
The words: "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." "Assuredly, I say, today will be with me in paradise". "Woman, behold your son! "" Behold your mother! "" My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? "" I thirst. "" It is finished! "" Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. "And some meditations on" the earthquake ".
Richard Young has its full of words and the music beyond what would be expected, and happily for this reader. (I'm not well educated when it comes to music, but I found understandable and useful study. Even inspire one person not the music.) In the book, a didactic and instructive way it interacts with listening to Haydn, only writes music, and there is a CD with music only for your purposes too. I recommend this delightful book, with its elegant design and design to any Anyone interested in meditations on the last words of Christ, or the desire to come to know this man Jesus who is God to many Christians.
