This coming Sunday, August 20th, David Passmore (organ) and I will be providing the musical leadership for the joint summer worship of Trinity-St. Paul's and Bloor Street United. Among the standard hymns, we'll be presenting the haunting alto solo "Erbarme dich mein Gott", "Have mercy on me, Lord" from J.S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion. If you haven't heard it before, you're in for a treat. I've been really appreciating the 1998 recording made by Andreas Scholl with the Collegium Vocale Gent, that can be found here on Youtube. Its inspired me to rework my personal interpretation a bit.
