Today's music is calming, contemplative, in keeping with the season of the holidays that approach. Advent, in the Christian tradition, is a time for reflection and preparation for the coming birth of Jesus, the light of the world. In the Jewish tradition, December is the time for The Festival of Lights, Hanukkah, which celebrates the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt in the 2nd Century BCE. The world thirsts for light in the approaching solstice, and so the mind goes inward, and reflects on ancient truths that resonate in the music of Vivaldi, Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart that are played in today's program.
