The great Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) is without question one of the most influential composers of all time. He synthesized musical forms of both northern and southern Germany, as well as assimilating other national styles such as Italian and French, into his own summary of musical practices at the time while pointing to the future.
The early Bach biographer Phillip Spitta (1841-1894) pointed out that his Prelude in A Minor features "certain characteristics reminiscent of the Buxtehude School" with its opening right hand running solo, intermittent counterpoint, and tonic pedal point to give rising tension. The alternation between free writing (intended to sound improvised) and strict counterpoint also points to Buxtehude's influence.
The matching Fugue, played for the closing voluntary, is among his most celebrated and divinely inspired works, characterized by a jaunty and driving rhythm. Each of the four voices of the Fugue is carefully crafted to sing as though each were a voice in a choir. The Fugue's subject (main theme) paraphrases a sequence from a Vivaldi concerto for two violins.

 Daniel & Amy Carwile to Perform this Sunday in Good Shepherd
Champion fiddlers, multi-instrumentalists, composers, and educators,
Daniel and Amy Carwile are a dynamic husband and wife musical duo whose personal connection lends poignancy to their music and spark to their performances. Showcasing versatility on fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki, guitar, piano, and vocals, their eclectic repertoire of acoustic music includes traditional tunes as well as original compositions stylistically ranging from bluegrass and old-time to Celtic and swing.
Seasoned and diverse musicians, the Carwiles bring to the stage over 50 years of performing experience. They have performed with artists such as Tim O'Brien, Bela Fleck, The Moody Blues, The Battlefield Band, and Mark O'Connor. Competing across the country, Amy has garnered fiddle awards in over 10 states and British Columbia. Daniel, a U.S. Grand Master Fiddle Champion and World Series of Fiddling Champion, is also a sought after session musician, recording on Rounder, Sugar Hill, and Rebel Records. From Fame Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to Music Row in Nashville, Tennessee, Daniel has recorded with Alison Krauss, Vince Gill, Sam Bush, John Cowan, Michael English, and Larry Cordle. His participation in, "Moody Bluegrass: A Nashville Tribute to the Moody Blues," earned him a nomination for Recorded Event of the Year from the International Bluegrass Music Association and climbed to number 8 on Billboard's Bluegrass Chart. Daniel can also be found on Kenny and Amanda Smith's Grammy nominated project, "Tell Someone." Daniel and Amy's latest duo recording, Col Arco, reached number 5 on the Acoustic/Folk Radio Charts. Daniel and Amy operate Carwile String Studio in Lexington, specializing in fiddle, violin, viola, mandolin, and guitar instruction, passing along America's rich musical heritage to students of all ages. In tandem with their private instruction, they travel throughout the U.S. and abroad conducting fiddle workshops and master classes in addition to music camps such as the Mark O'Connor Berklee College of Music Summer String Program, the International Fiddle School at Vanderbilt University, and the Swannanoa Gathering Fiddle Week. Daniel and Amy's unique musical style has been heard from the Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee to venues and audiences across the United States as well as Canada and the British Isles. Whether mesmerizing the audience with a slow harmony or busting bow hair on foot-stomping hoedowns, the Carwiles deliver, straight from the heart. www.carwilestringstudio.com |

Choir Reunion Weekend Sept 20-22
We're looking forward to our reunion weekend when singers past and present join together for a time of festivity. Primarily envisioned as a "homecoming" to celebrate our new "Miller and Wrigley Organ" (Goulding & Wood, Opus 50), this is shaping up to be a weekend of joining our present singers with those who sang decades ago in Good Shepherd. The weekend will include a gathering of adults on Friday evening, a combined choirs rehearsal Saturday morning, activities for all ages Saturday afternoon, and then singing the Sunday services culminating in evensong at 5:00pm. We have had excellent response so far, but would like to hear from all choir alumni. If you haven't done so, please give John Linker at ring on 859 335 6166. See you in September!
