February 25 - Myra Hess (The Musical Birthday Series)

Myra Hess (25 February 1890 – 25 November 1965) was a British pianist remembered for concerts she organized in London during World Was II.

BWV147

Dame Myra Hess,

As you might guess,

   Tired of hostesses inquiring,

If she’d be a dear

And let them hear

   "Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring".
