Have not had any Bach lately, so...

I thought it was time for some more Bach.

Three very lovely, quiet pieces, very different from that famous one or some of the pieces I talked about in an earlier post.

Here they are in order (of course) of BWV number.  All played by Leo van Doeselaar, as part of the Netherlands Bach Society All of Bach collection.  

Herr Gott, nun schleuss den Himmel auf, BWV 617.  I think it would be lovely if God's opening the heavens was like this, and not crashingly dramatic.

An Wasserfluessen Babylon, BWV 653

Erbarm dich mein, O Herre Gott, BWV 721 (this one now has its own post).

All very lovely at any time but perhaps especially at the end of a busy start of term teaching day.
