10. I should be sorry if I have only succeeded in entertaining them; I wished to make them better


Baroque music sets the mood perfectly for Christmas - at least we see it fitting for the Holidays. It would be the easy choice to include something from Johann Sebastian Bach here but that would be against our principal of trying to introduce some lesser known quality music to you all. So we picked the first movement, Adagio of the D minor organ concerto by Georg Friedrich Händel which has in it a delicate and deep sense of spiritual beauty. The organ brings Christmas to mind as it is still deep down a christian holiday and many connect the organ with the church. The main theme is simple but effective and the treatment it gets in the end makes it even more gorgeous.
