Moonlight in Gethsemane
March 28th, 2009
This is one of my absolute most favorite pieces to play on the piano. It is a piece that takes me out of the moment and into another, my fingers fitting comfortably onto familiar keys. I have played this piece since I was in junior high but it never ever gets old. Ever. Lately, however, I am transported to the Garden of Gethsemane every time I play it. I have an image of Jesus on His knees praying to His Father in Heaven to take this cup from him, the tears of blood dripping…ever dripping…join me there…

I can listen to piano music all day. I just love it. Great music! Makes me want to close my eyes and just be still and listen.
Have a Fabulous Day!
amen amen amen girl.
have an image of Jesus on His knees praying to His Father in Heaven to take this cup from him, the tears of blood dripping…ever dripping…join me there… I have my precious sister….
I too LOVED playing this piece when I was a young girl…It just touches to my very core!!
It’s interesting that you see the Garden of Gethsemane as you listen to this because someone has put words to Moonlight Sonata. The title is “Passion Adagio”, and the words are from “O Sacred Head Now Wounded”. Our church choir sang it last year.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this!
Blessings to you!
you my friend are always a blessing.
