The Worlds of Gilbert and Sullivan

What has Felix Mendelssohn got to do with Gilbert & Sullivan? Well, all will be revealed in the full web-site! But, in a way this was the beginning of the Gilbert & Sullivan story. 

In the meantime here is a lovely aria from Felix's oratorio Elijah. It is called O Rest in the Lord. And it certainly had a profound effect on Arthur.

Let us know what effect it has on you . . .

O Rest in the Lord

O rest in the Lord,
Wait patiently for Him,
And He shall give thee
Thy heart's desires;
O rest in the Lord,
Wait patiently for Him,
And He shall give thee thy heart's desires,
And He shall give thee thy heart's desires.

Commit thy way unto Him,
And trust in Him;
Commit thy way unto Him,
And trust in Him;
And fret not thyself,
Because of evil doers.
O rest in the Lord,
Wait patiently for Him,
Wait patiently for Him,

O rest in the Lord,
Wait patiently for Him,
And He shall give thee
Thy heart's desires;
And He shall give thee
Thy heart's desires;
And He shall give thee
Thy heart's desires;
O rest in the Lord,
O rest in the Lord,
And wait, wait patiently for Him.
