The solemnity of his singing voice is irreplaceable , and beyond compare From Tokyo where is full of the joys and sorrows of this human world And Tokyo where young leaves are fragrant
Thanks to the apostle, Paul, for writing the lyrics over 2,000 years ago. Thanks to Georg/George Friedrich/Frideric Handel/Händel/Händel/Haendel for writing the music over 200 years ago, Thanks to Matthew Rose, bass, Alex Cesare Elia, trumpet, Jonathan Cohen, conductor and the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra for providing this musical rendition of this scripture passage: I Corinthians 15:52. I recently watched a video in which this passage was mentioned. Which made me wonder how many other people "like" this passage (or the musical rendition of it) but aren't acquainted with its context. “You don’t have to overcome sin because Christ already did that. The gospel - the salvational part of God’s work - is complete. God is not expecting or even looking for people who live perfectly sinless. “If we could become perfectly flawless in our own lives and our own time, verses like I Corinthians 15:52 wouldn’t make much sense. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” Is I Corinthians 15:52 a reference to sanctification (moral perfection)? Please read the next verse and find out.
...and thanks to Renold Otto Schilke for making a piccolo trumpet that makes it so much easier for thousands of trumpet players all over the world to play this.🎺
1 Corinthians 15 51. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Traditionally the music and text is not memorised. It is like reading from the Bible, from the pulpit, the glorious gospel. Don't forget the compiler of the Biblical texts, Charles Jennens.
