June 15 Tip "Touch Wood" with Bach in a Japanese Forest

"Touch Wood" with Bach in a Japanese Forest
(the June 15 Compassionate Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace)

Go to the woods of Kyushu, Japan. Engineer a massive xylophone (or is it a marimba?) to run down the slope of a forested hill. Take a wooden ball, place it at the top of said instrument, and push it. What do you get? Bach's treatment of a traditional church hymn! Namely, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring."
