What We Need
September 15, 2012

The heartbreaking stories keep coming. The friend whose grown daughter has left her husband and kids. The dads I recently met who lost their teen sons in car accidents. The pillar of the church whose retirement years have been marked by a string of bad medical news. You know the stories. You may have your own.

Where do we go for help when struggles and pain threaten to shake our faith and steal our last ounce of joy?

Second Corinthians 1:3 may be just the right destination. It is full of hope, help, and possibilities.

Examine what that verse tells us: Paul lifts praise to God on two levels (and remember, Paul had more struggles and trouble than most of us could stand). First, he simply sends praise to God, who is not just our God but the God and Father of Jesus Himself. Think about the power and the love behind that!

Then he gives us even better news: Our heavenly Father is the God of mercy and compassion. He cares for us with an everlasting, gracious love. And there’s more—He is also the God of all comfort.

Need compassion? Need comfort? Go to God. He has an endless supply and is ready to pour it out on you in abundance. He is what we need in times of trouble!

I must have the Savior with me,
For my faith at best is weak;
He will whisper words of comfort,
That no other voice can speak. —Anon.

God’s whisper of comfort helps quiet the noise of our trials.

Read: 2 Corinthians 1:1-7

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort. —2 Corinthians 1:3

Bible in a Year:
Ezekiel 37-39

Missing Man Setting

“The Empty Chair”

By Captain Carroll “Lex” Lefon, USN (ret), on December 21st, 2004

“In the wardroom onboard the aircraft carrier from which I recently debarked was a small, round table, with single chair. No one ever sat there, and the reasons, both for the table being there, and for the fact that the chair was always empty, will tell the reader a little bit about who we are as a culture.The wardroom, of course, is where the officers will dine; morning, noon and evening. It is not only a place to eat – it is also a kind of oasis from the sometimes dreary, often difficult exigencies of the service. A place of social discourse, of momentary relief from the burdens of the day. The only things explicitly forbidden by inviolable tradition in the wardroom are the wearing of a cover or sword by an officer not actually on watch, or conversation which touches upon politics or religion. But aboard ships which observe the custom, another implicit taboo concerns the empty chair: No matter how crowded the room, no matter who is waiting to be seated, that chair is never moved, never taken.

The table is by the main entrance to the wardroom. You will see it when you enter, and you will see it when you leave. It draws your eyes because it is meant to. And because it draws your eyes it draws your thoughts. And though it will be there every day for as long as you are at sea, you will look at it every time and your eyes will momentarily grow distant as you think for a moment. As you quietly give thanks.

AS YOU REMEMBER.

The small, round table is covered with a white linen tablecloth. A single place setting rests there, of fine bone china. A wineglass stands upon the table, inverted, empty. On the dinner plate is a pinch of salt. On the bread plate is a slice of lemon. Besides the plate lies a bible. There is a small vase with a single red rose upon the table. Around the vase is wound a yellow ribbon. There is the empty chair.

We will remember because over the course of our careers, we will have had the opportunity to enjoy many a formal evening of dinner and dancing in the fine company of those with whom we have the honor to serve, and their lovely ladies. And as the night wears on, our faces will in time become flushed with pleasure of each other’s company, with the exertions on the dance floor, with the effects of our libations. But while the feast is still at its best, order will be called to the room – we will be asked to raise our glasses to the empty table, and we will be asked to remember:

The table is round to show our everlasting concern for those who are missing. The single setting reminds us that every one of them went to their fates alone, that every life was unique.

The tablecloth is white symbolizing the purity of their motives when they answered the call to duty.

The single red rose, displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of each of the missing, and their loved ones who kept the faith.

The yellow ribbon around the vase symbolizes our continued determination to remember them.

The slice of lemon reminds us of the bitterness of their fate.
The salt symbolizes the tears shed by those who loved them.
The bible represents the faith that sustained them.
The glass is inverted — they cannot share in the toast.
The chair is empty — they are not here. They are missing.

And we will remember, and we will raise our glasses to those who went before us, and who gave all that they had for us. And a part of the flush in our faces will pale as we remember that nothing worth having ever came without a cost. We will remember that many of our brothers and sisters have paid that cost in blood. We will remember that the reckoning is not over.

We many of us will settle with our families into our holiday season, our Christmas season for those who celebrate it, content in our fortune and prosperity. We will meet old friends with smiles and laughter. We will meet our members of our family with hugs. We will eat well, and exchange gifts and raise our glasses to the year passed in gratitude, and to the year to come with hope. We will sleep the sleep of the protected, secure in our homes, secure in our homeland.

But for many families, there will be an empty chair at the table this year. A place that is not filled.

WE SHOULD REMEMBER.”

Come Dance With Me

[Publius]

It’s time for Frederic Chopin: The Final Years. By 1844, when Fred was 34, his long relationship with the female French novelist George Sand was on the rocks. The tempestuous relationship, with its smokin’ hot sex, became something more like a friendship, with George taking on the role of a nurse for poor Fred. Fred’s tuberculosis was slowly killing him.

The project that occupied all of 1844 was his last piano sonata, one of the monuments of the repertory.

The first subject is one of Chopin’s most forceful and noble themes. The second subject at 1:29 in D Major is beautiful and expressive, occasionally threatening to turn dark. At 4:00 be begins his development and takes his first subject apart, until at 4:53 he works on developing his second subject, but then seamlessly recapitulates with a truncated first subject. At 6:08 be brings back his second subject in B Major, The coda at 8:23 wraps it up in the major key.

Chopin: Piano Sonata in B minor, Op. 58 (first movement)

The second movement is a short, light-footed scherzo with a contemplative middle section.

(second movement)

The slow movement is a song without words, but quite different from Mendelssohn’s approach. The middle subject at 2:30 is heartbreaking and points the way to Brahms.

(third movement)

The finale is one of great roller coaster rides of the repertory. Adam Neiman summed it up perfectly when he described it as, “The Cossacks are coming!” Even if you don’t like classical music, crank up the volume and listen to this. It’s classical rock and roll.

(fourth movement)

By 1845, when Frederic Chopin was 35, his relationship with George Sand was falling apart. In this year, Fred produced only one small set of mazurkas. You could always count on Chopin for a mazurka or two.

The first is a bit sad and contemplative. The second is a bit brighter and grander. The third is darker but livelier.

Chopin: 3 Mazurkas (A minor, A-flat, F# minor), Op. 59

Proper Way To Listen To Classical Music

[Publius]

In 1846, when Frederic Chopin turned 36, he got involved in a rather messy situation involving George Sand’s daughter Solange and her lover Auguste Clesinger, a sculptor. The end of the relationship with George was near.

Then a friend of George’s, Pauline Viardot, entered Fred’s life. Those who remember the series I did on Brahms will remember her. Pauline was a lifelong friend of Clara Schumann, a fine pianist who took lessons from Franz Liszt himself, and one of the great opera singers of her age. Thirty years later, Pauline and Brahms were to meet at the resort town of Baden, Brahms was to write some songs for her – and they may have tumbled into bed.

Pauline was a tonic in Fred’s life. He now had a musical equal with whom he could play four-handed piano duets and discuss the finer points of music. This is why 1846 was the last year of major works and masterpieces – and what a set of masterpieces!

There is an understanding among pianists that the very greatest piece of music Chopin ever wrote was his Barcarolle. Watch the way he builds suspense with the middle section that begins at 3:15. The return to the first section at 6:30 is magical.

The pause at the cadence at 7:06 is milked just a bit by Rubinstein in this recording. In 1980 I saw Peter Serkin perform this piece at Royce Hall at UCLA, and he milked this pause for almost a full five seconds before completing the cadence. You could see the audience leaning forward in suspense just waiting for it.
