Bach's Prélude from Suite No. 2, amidst the melting permafrost on Lower Tanana Dene lands in Fairbanks, Alaska, where I was brought by Princess Daazhraii Johnson. She writes this:

"Our relationship to our birch relatives, our salmon relatives, and all the beings of Alaska are sacred. Our traditional stories tell us that at one point we all spoke the same language ... we still do. If we find the time to truly listen, we might recognize ourselves in the melting permafrost or the fallen birch, but we might also recognize ourselves in the songs of the birds or the freshness of the Arctic breeze. There is still hope when we experience life. We should all fall in love with the places we live and let this love drive our determination to protect the waters, the salmon, the caribou, and all our plant relatives so that future generations may also experience such joy and sustenance.”

This is very powerful synthesis of the beauty of music and the power of the cause. Thank you, Yo-Yo Ma for making this planet a better place to live on!

I am from Alaska and I have deep indigenous ancestry here, (settler and indigenous) and I would never call any other place in this world in my home, though I am well traveled. This piece moved my heart, and the way it was presented is a beautiful remark and statement upon the way it has changed, even from when I was a child. Thank you, Yo-Yo Ma and everyone who made this happen, I am grateful for our home to be shown in such a bittersweet beautiful way. I have been a fan of yours since the early PBS days from childhood.

The d minor prelude is solemn, dark, melancholic, introspective, and mournful. By the end, it also refreshes the spirit and for that I am grateful to J.S. Bach for this music.

Yoyo Ma inspired me to learn the violin at age 9 before I even knew his name… thanks to a school field trip to listen to him… all by himself at the Guzman Hall in downtown Miami…over 50 years ago..he is truly an amazing treasure to humanity

The prelude of Bach's suite 2 is one of Yo Yo Ma's first piece he ever performed on stage when he was little
