I have an organ version of it... that part is in the pedals.... when
This time I read "I have a vegan version of it."
It is a food echo, after all... ;)
What makes a vegan version of the Pachelbel or anything
else food?
for the Musical Heritage Society, which, if you joined
its subscription service, would send you an album of
the Jean-Francois Paillard Chamber Orchestra for an
introductory fee of I believe 25 or 50 cents. The Kanon
was on this record - the very first recording of the
piece, and I got it - that was in 1968 or 1969 when I
ws finishing up high school. It wasn't a thrilling piece
then, and it isn't now.
Yes, I remember those ads, and that introductory offer (they stayed with
that being their intro offer for many years, as I remember)... and also
took them up on it... A friend of mine in college was quite enamored of it... he was partially deaf, and until he got a really good stereo
system thought the sound of the harpsichord was bells.... :)
Different strokes.
It was one of those ironies that I have spent many hours
of my life being paid for playing the thing.
At least you were paid for it... ;) I may have been paid for it for a
time or two when it was for a wedding.... :)
I doubt I've ever played it without being bribed.
concentrate on the much more challenging upper three voices on
the two
manuals... ;) He's always done creditably... (G)
That's how you can tell playing the organ is so hard
- you get more than one manual.
And some organs, one gets 4 or 5 manuals.... takes a long time to read through all of those... (G)
You could die of Bourdon.
Or Swell....
One could pretend to die of Fauxbourdon.
That is so. As much as cellists with the Swan or
Kanon.
Figured as much... ;)
It's not going to be the most interesting gig I've ever
done, but I'm not nearly so good as I was, either.
And they are paying you fairly well, as well... :)
I hope so. No contract ... but old clients who
generally paid ok.
Yeah, bigger than one's britches issues do lessen tolerance and forebearance.... ;)
It can be a bit of a trial and tribulation.
But generally the pleasure of it all makes
up for it.
I do enjoy ensemble playing, generally... :)
But, as my Peter Pauper's book of Confucius sayings
said, one rat dropping spoils the whole pot of rice.
And then there are those who can play (a string
instrument anyway) and sing at the same time.
Yeah, winds and brass are a bit trickier... (G) Also a possibility of singing along when it's a keyboard instrument.... :)
Yeah, I used to be able to thump away at F&S songs
and sing at the same time. My secret was that I
trasncribed everything to the key of C. I was good
enough at that to fool Carol Rand (who should have
known better) into thinking I made a living doing that.
Oddly, I remained quite close to that ex-girlfriend
and her family. A decade after we broke up, I showed
at her brother's funeral (in one of those ironies of
life, he was a cancer researcher and died of cancer)
and was put in the front row next to the mother.
Some families are like that... once part of the family, always part...
Seemed that way. I'm still in touch with her
over 40 years after we broke up.
asking the student what H2SO4 stood for, and the student replies "I know what that is, I have it on the tip of my tongue", to which the professor replies, "Spit it out man, it's poison!"
I wonder how humor in the classroom is viewed nowadays.
Dunno... I'd hope that it is still permissible, even encouraged... but haven't that much exposure to the classroom nowadays.... Judging from
the young lady at church who is a physics teacher at MCC, though, at
least at that level it seems to still be ok... ;)
Though from the looks of the news all ribaldry is
verboten. People are getting sanctioned or even
losing their jobs for stuff that seems to me to be
perfectly harmless.
I was what I called a good administrative
concertmaster - keeping the personnel happy, doing
the bowings, interpreting the conductor's strange
gestures and requests to the string section, calling
for time's up, that kind of thing. Playing the solos
was a burden to live with.
But generally compensated for by the rest of the job, and the chance to
play together....?
In general, but the trouble was real.
... Weather forecast: Chili today, hot tamale.
Old joke. The secondary joke is that tamales are
never very spicy.
