Hello and welcome to Classically Speaking, the new podcast by John Richmond.
The concept is simple. John reads passages from the Bible over suitable classical music composed and performed by John.
That does sound very simple.
The idea is to reflect on the Bible passage. You could read it for yourself first. Then listen to it being read by John.
The passage should come alive in your mind.
We are going to read the Bible in a year, so, without further a do, let’s make a start.
The first Bible passage is Mark chapter one verses nine to thirteen. The baptism of Jesus. The music is "Simply pray" from Gethsemane.
The next passage is Mark chapter six verses fourteen to twenty nine. The death of John the Baptist. The music is "Argentina" and "Denmark" from the album Compose Yourself, available on all streaming platforms.
Remember you can pause and read the Bible passage first.
We hope you will enjoy the first instalment of classically speaking.
Remember to spread the word and leave a review.
All the best.
