J. S. Bach: "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme" Kantate BWV 140, Eingangschor





fling open the doors
let the golden light shine in
hear the voice of God




We have a new episode of Carpe Diem Namasté, a special feature in which we are exploring the spiritual way, the spiritual background of haiku (and tanka).

Chèvrefeuille says we all know that haiku has roots in Zen-Buddhism, in which the only desire possible is to become enlightened.

He explains that haiku wasn’t his first love; that was classical music, especially the music of J.S. Bach.

  1. Wachet auf : Wake up ! so said the watchman because we usually sleep. Yes, we have to wake up in every day of our life. Nice haiku !

  2. You said it in the right way ... Bach's music was the voice of God.
