Night Song: Sonic Tapestry in Sacred Space
Ben Schwendener, piano
Joe Wagner, soprano sax
Hear 40 minutes of reflective and ambient instrumental improvisations in the reverberant sanctuary of First Church in Cambridge. Experience a gorgeous and moving sonic tapestry that will fill you with serenity and a soaring sense of beauty, hope, and resilience.
The music will be ambient and meditative realizations of works by J.S. Bach, original folk and children’s songs, and works of sacred geometry. Let magical effects from the piano and the striking melodic lines of the saxophone divert your attention to a healing world of aesthetic aural beauty and tranquility, contributing to your well-being and emotional comfort.
About Night Song: We all need time set aside from the demands of daily life and the troubling issues facing our country and our world — a regular time to be still, to find clarity and purpose, and to center ourselves for the coming week. This 45-minute, candlelit service, a program of First Church in Cambridge, Congregational, will help you recharge for the challenges of life. Enter into stillness and be transported and transformed by ancient and modern contemplative music.
