Cover Image: The Lady and the Unicorn: Hearing
This French Medieval tapestry with six panels - (Sight, Hearing, Taste, Touch, Smell, A mon seul Désir) hangs in the Cluny Museum (Musée national du Moyen Age) in Paris. It was discovered in 1844 at the château de Boussac by the famous novelist George Sand. The woman pictured is playing a portative organ.

Wachet auf, Ruft uns die Stimme (Wake, arise, the voices call us) is the central chorale tune from Bach's Cantata #140. Written for the 27th Sunday after Trinity, which begins the first week of Advent, it is known as a Christmas Cantata. This famous tune has been arranged for many instruments, the best-known arrangement being for organ prelude.
