Grand, Noble, Hanclian. “Rest in yhe Lord.”
Prof. John Binsfeld was my organ teacher at Temple University. He was much more than a lecturer of music, he was the finest example of true musical excellence. Grounded in pedagogy, his technique has survived for generations. I love you John. He was a father figure, mentor, and dear friend to me. His life and artistry given totally to the ultimate honor and glory of Almighty God. I am sure he is already holding rehearsals for the Choirs of Angels. Until we meet again, on heaven’s golden shore.
