Epiphany 3 - Sunday - The Magic Flute (Mozart) - Papageno/Papagena Duet Act II

Today is the Sabbath – Go and worship God at your home church or a church of your choosing.

I have regular readers of my blog whom I am most grateful for. One family in particular is responsible for today's musical offering. Lynda and her daughters Rachel and Jenna enjoy my musical posts on Sunday mornings and apparently listen together as a family. Terrific!

But one day, Rachel asked "Why doesn't Brian have any opera on his site?"

So, today I take Rachel's request seriously and offer to all my readers one of my favorite moments in all of opera - the duet from Act II of Mozart's "The Magic Flute." This is the famous Papageno/Papagena Duet and features Wolfgang Brendel as Papageno and Gudrun Sieber as Papagena with all of their children!

This is a 1983 production from Munich with Wolfgang Sawallisch conducting. This is one of the best 2 minutes and 30 seconds that you will spend today. Enjoy!

Love One Another - Brian

The Collect for the Third Sunday of Epiphany
Give us grace, O Lord, to answer readily the call of our Savior Jesus Christ and proclaim to all people the Good News of his salvation, that we and the whole world may perceive the glory of his marvelous works; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
