Peter Campbell-Kelly, a violinist with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in Birmingham, England, recently shared this beautiful film with me:
The piece is a passacaglia by Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber and is performed by Campbell-Kelly himself.
His message to me was accompanied by this poem which he wrote in response to the music:

In his email, Peter said of the film: “It is a sort of musical prayer, intended somehow for the well-being of all of us, in this desperately difficult pandemic.”
Of the poem, I would add the same: it is a poignant prayer in our collective time of need.
