Dear Flea,
I heard on NPR that you are an afficianado of Bach, so I thought I would share with you a poem that my father wrote about him the other day. My dad is retired and started taking a creative writing class to explore the right side of his brain – his field of work was business administration (MBA + PhD in business economics.):
Ode to J.S.B.
Ed Shaw
Where is it written that a
man of devout faith cannot also be
a man of genius,
a man of consequential brilliance.
To you, J.S.B., I pay homage,
for you are and forever will be that man,
righteous and resplendent in the
firmament of great music.
Your B minor Mass and Christmas Oratorio
lead us into scriptural grace,
your Passions of St. Mathew and St. John
provide us sacred operas that ascend to the heavens.
Your cantatas, liturgical and secular,
penetrate our souls to their very depths
and your preludes, toccatas and fugues
make the organ sing as an angel on high.
Who can forget the keyboard genius of your Well Tempered Clavier,
shaping such worthies as Mozart, Beethoven and Mendelssohn,
and what of the sheer happiness and splendor of your instrumental works,
most notably the incomparable Brandenburg Concertos.
Your aria and variations on the harpsichord,
the Goldberg Variations, will always provide joy and succor
and the chromatic Inventions and Sinfonias
continue to instruct us with their musical beauty.
Your French suites are as nectar for the spirit,
your English suites as honey for the heart,
and your magnificent Art of the Fugue
leads us into a rapture only you can provide.
And so, at the end of your noble and lofty life,
you have given us over 1100 known works of great music…….
I pledge myself to you for this body of work and for your genius, J.S.B.,
you are the non pareil, the most sublime, Johan Sebastian Bach.
