MUSIC NOTES FOR SUNDAY, JUNE 14, 2026   Piano: Dr. James P. O’Brien  Organ: Dr. Shirley J. O’Brien

Prelude: "Arioso" often translated as "Thanks Be to Thee," is a beautiful, deeply reverent piece traditionally attributed to George Frideric Handel (1685-1759). It is frequently used as a church prelude and is loved for its solemn, pastoral melody. It depicts a grateful heart and a thankful spirit. George Frideric Handel was a German-born Baroque composer who later became a British citizen. He is best known for his operas, oratorios, and orchestral works, especially Messiah, which includes the famous “Hallelujah” chorus. Handel was born in Halle, Germany, and spent much of his career in London, where he became one of the most successful composers of his time. His music is admired for its lasting influence on Western classical music.

 Postlude: “Just A Closer Walk with Thee” is a traditional gospel song and jazz standard. The title and lyrics allude to the Biblical passage from 2 Corinthians 5:7, which states, “We walk by faith, not by sight,” and James 4:8, “Come near to God and He will come near to you”.  The precise author is unknown. It probably dates to African American churches of the 19th century, even before the Civil War.
