'erhebt' (den Herren) ....an innocent word from Luther to Bach's time, about to undergo an apotheosis ...'erhaben' is a key word in the 1750's and 60's thanks to the discovery of Shaftesbury and Burke by the likes of Baumgarten, Lessing, Michaelis, and Mendelssohn...then onto Kant...But then 'aufheben' comes along around 1800 in Hegel. More a symptom than a cause of the many changes going on...but interesting...no wonder Bach seemed so ancient by Beethoven's time.

yasher koach...wish I could be there for the grand finale...

I guess we have to hope that IU does not become a trio with someone like David Oh...
