Why Didn’t Anyone Stop This?

“So many of the wonderful Preludes & Fugues by Bach—as splendid as they are—do not work as Processional pieces: they’re simply too long.”
Today’s installment is a rare image of our Lord’s Resurrection.
Before the revision, Haugen’s Gloria “worked” much better, but I still had serious reservations about it.
