<p>Good Afternoon!</p> <p>It´s the first Sunday of Advent and there is a smell of fresh coffee and apple pie in the house. As soon as it´s dark, we will light the first candle of the Advent wreath, which I think is a tradition only to be found in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.</p> <p><img src="http://www.aachener-zeitung.de/polopoly_fs/1.696913.1384335680!/image/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/zva_quer_540/image.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>The Advent season is the time to prepare the family for the upcoming arrival of our saviour, to decorate the house, to start making all those goodies we will enjoy during the season. Time to think of friends and relatives no longer with us and the time to be thankful for what we have.</p> <p>It´s also the time to enjoy the wonderful music made over centuries for the season.</p> <p>One of my favourite is Bach´s "Christmas Oratory", BWV 248 part 1 "Jauchzet, frohlocket". Enjoy with me a recording made in the Church Of Our Lady in Dresden!</p> <p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DlwcZT1XVss" width="425" height="350"></iframe></p> <p>Some background on this remarkable church, which was completely destroyed during the Allied bombing of February 13th/14th, 1945 and rebuilt between 1994 and 2005 is available in the following video.</p> <p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/X5OuOaKeBJI" width="425" height="350"></iframe></p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
