Friendship and Love

Steve Jobs wanted Yo-Yo Ma to play at his wedding, but Ma was going to be out of the country and couldn't make it. A few months later, he visited Jobs and said, "This is what I would have played at your wedding." He played a Bach Cello Suite. Perhaps it was the one below.
  Close your eyes and imagine this is your special day as you listen to this piece of music. The tone is intimate and expressive. You cannot but be in awe of this wonderful musician's gift and talent.
  Because this video is filmed in winter and spring,  it seems to suggest that music, like love, endures through any weather.
   It is my belief that when friendship and love are brought together, that is when music begins.

Prelude of Bach's Cello Suite No. 1

  "Love is a friendship set to music."
