God gave Jesus encouragement before He went to the cross and this is part of it. Jesus with His friends Peter, James and John went to Mount Tabor and there God said with a bright cloud covering them : ” This is my Son , whom I love; with Him I am well pleased. Listen to Him.”

This is how Henri Frederic Amiel (1821-1881) a Swiss moral philosopher, poet and critic pictured the soul of Mozart’s music as living in the “etherial peaks” of Olympus .

that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the storm – beaten sides of a Sinai..
