"What was that you played?"

Before the service, I played Handel's Lascia ch'io pianga, then the 2nd movement of a keyboard concerto by J S Bach.

The offering was accompanied by The Circle of Life, from the opening of the Lion King movie - music by Elton John. I naively imagined that this was a cute and quite suitable piece to play before a baptism, and that our youngsters would appreciate hearing a piece of music that they recognised. You have no idea how deeply some people analyse the deeper meaning and symbolism of movies, however. Take a look at this website, to see what I mean! I shouldn't have bothered to look it up!

You went out to Prelude and Fugue in B flat, from the Six short preludes by J S Bach.
