Today was a beautiful funeral for a beautiful person. Never before have I heard a recording of Mahler 4 being played before a funeral and I don't think that I will ever hear that again. Hearing about G. today made me wish that I had been a brass instrument player just to have experienced more of his wonderful humanity and humour. I'm glad I knew him at all though.
The bible verses shared were John 14; Psalm 16, 2 Corinthians 4. All so beautiful.
Nor, also, do I think that I will hear a live brass ensemble play part of Elgar's Enigma Variations-Nimrod-at a funeral again.
Not much else on my mind right now. G's pastor shared how G had said so many times that he was ready to go home. And so he is...home.
