Musical Musings

Conversation Corners in the Cafe

Christian classical musicians hold a unique, small slice in the pie graph of this world. Breathing with both halves of our brain, we’re in a labyrinth of technique, mathematics, acoustics, emotions, our hearts and souls, as well as a million other circuits.

These musings are springboards in seeking the Lord’s ways to navigate the maze.

Café Jubalatte will be offering different conversations, adding new musings regularly.

We welcome your thoughts!

Thoughts from a Musician's Heart

OUR ULTIMATE SOURCE OF COMFORT AND SATISFACTION I was 13 years old when I began to fall in love with the music of Johannes Brahms. This obsession was first set off with the discovery of his Piano Quintet in F minor, and over the next several years I gradually collected (and am still collecting) a body of works by Brahms which all became very dear to me. But there has been nothing that has been able to match what many consider to be Brahms’ magnum opus, Ein Deutsches Requiem.
