Lang based his 'mystery sonatas' on the famous pieces by Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, but with a modern twist. \"I decided to make my own virtuosic pieces about my most intimate, most spiritual thoughts,\" he explains, \"[but] mine are not about Jesus, and the violin is not retuned between movements. I did keep one of Biber's distinctions. He divides Jesus's life into three phases-the joyous, the sorrowful, and the glorious. The central pieces of my mystery sonatas are called 'joy,' 'sorrow,' and 'glory,' but these are all quiet, internal, reflective states of being.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Joy 5:10 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 After Joy 5:28 \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Before Sorrow 6:53 \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Sorrow 8:53 \u003cbr\u003e1.5 After Sorrow 4:40 \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Before Glory 4:00 \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Glory 8:17\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"David Lang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32273240719431,"sku":"36742639","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/products\/3576307_35945535-1a6e-4c4e-8b99-96a2b006de71.jpg?v=1710863540","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/david-lang-mystery-sonatas","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
