Listening to the Early Music Show on @bbcradio3.bsky.social and wondering if everyone refers to LΓ©onin & Perotin as Len & Pete, or whether that was just music prof Wyndham Thomas at Bristol University in the early 1990s…

Hi new followers. I see I’m in a Starter Pack - which I guess is where you’ve found me. Can’t promise to be much use on the music Ed front, but maybe I’ll learn from you!

One wonders.
It would be a great badge though, dontcha think?

Ooh - I was thinking a nice lapel badge. Just posted the exact idea!

Has anyone done a badge yet saying β€˜Middle class woman of a certain age’? Because I think one would suit me.

Do you also sometimes mentally add a little footnote to their official biogs? Miss Trala studied with Madame La Shout at the top conservatoire, has starred in numerous operas, sung on the same concert stages as Kiri Te Kanawa (but on a different date), and can’t pitch an F# from a D major chord.

It is an unbreakable rule of huge orchestral/choral works that one of the four soloists must have a sense of pulse so wonky that the orchestra almost has to skip an occasional beat to follow them.

Curious. Didn’t see you on my gig tonight, but apparently you were there… πŸ€”

Next stage in son’s development as a musician: learning that the hardest part of forming a new band is not the actual music making (especially when mum knows some great arrangers) but choosing the name & the dress code.
Any band name suggestions for 3 young teen lads on 🎻🎷& 🎹?

That’s a gorgeous painting. I completely get how that fits.

Ah! Fab! Not an original thought in my brain. πŸ˜‰

Yep. But either listen to or look at the keyboard original too. Mesmerising either way.

I’m wondering what your synesthesia would make of Les Barricades MystΓ©rieuses. Either Couperin’s original or Thomas AdΓ¨s quintet version.

I mean, the other one is entertaining to look at once in a while, if only to wonder what happened to my feed!

Neither Petite nor Solennelle, but sometimes a lovely mess! πŸ˜‰
