Sarabande

The Sarabande is the centre of the suite, emotionally and musically, and Saturday, the historic Judische Shabbas, is the centre of this tour, perhaps in exactly the same manner!

Today is another concert day. Another hour without interval, and with any luck, a welcome audience. The evening will reach its culmination in dining with the Bishop... Maybe our Bishop will be there as well? Quite a few of the clergy are coming after all, it wouldn't surprise me terribly much. (It'll be the Bishop of Strångnås, calm down).

The one thing I'm most worried about is the climate, in all honesty.  In taking a cut-down case, I'm putting faith in the weather being similar or even better than here.

It looks like there's plenty of time not only today, but also on the tour generally. It's almost more of a holiday! This is a short post, so read it slowly. Enjoy the space and... Go for a walk? As the day draws to a close here, I'm sure the hostelries of Strångnås will appreciate the Kronor we bring them...

Postscriptum

This is extremely short, and especially for me.  But so is BWV 1007 iv.  Writing for the future, especially when so much could happen in a few short days, is tricky at best.  Come back tomorrow for some more modern tunes.
