For Pender's offertory on June 18, 2023 Brian Stevenson, Director of Music Ministries, played Badinerie BWV 1067 from "Orchestral Suite No. 2 in b minor" by J.S. Bach (1685-1750) on his flute. He was accompanied by Heidi Jacobs on the piano.
The Badinerie (literally "jesting" in French – in other works Bach used the Italian word with the same meaning, scherzo) has become a showpiece for solo flautists because of its quick pace and difficulty.
