For those interested, “Sheep may safely graze” is an aria belonging to JS Bach’s “Hunting” Cantata BWV 208, a secular (i.e. not a church) cantata. There are many recordings available, but no one comes close to Gustav Leonhardt and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightment.

I’m of partial German heritage, but I don’t know that much of the German language anyway. (To play along, Giuseppe Verdi plays in Italian, Maurice Ravel plays in French, Pyotr Tchaikovsky plays in Russian, BedĹ™ich Smetana plays in Czech, JoaquĂn Rodrigo plays in Spanish, Fryderyk/FrĂ©dĂ©ric Chopin plays in Polish and French … need I say more?)

“Was spielst du, Schröder?” “Sheep May Graze Safely.” “Kein Wunder, dass ich es nicht erkannt habe.” “Du hast auf Deutsch gespielt.”

That was a Bach handed compliment.

It has been a semi-crazy week. I needed this. Thank you, Sparky.

Nice to know that Schroeder will play pieces from composers other than Beethoven. This one is especially beautiful.
