Great book, Jessica.

YouTube video by Voices of Music Giovanni Battista Fontana: Sonata Seconda. Alana Youssefian, baroque violin & Voices of Music 4K UHD

Pause for 7 minutes to take in this bright and joy-filled performance of Giovanni Fontana’s Sonata No.2.
🎻✨
Not much is known about Fontana—he died relatively young—but in his short time during the early Baroque era, he wrote some bold music.

l imagine a soul that is worked upon and, as it were, sulphured and phosphorated by these contacts, as the only acceptable state of reality.

-ANTONIN ARTAUD, The Nerve Meter

Here is the time for what you can say,
this is its country. Speak and acknowledge.
More than ever things are falling away— the things that we live with— and what is replacing them is an urge without image.

- RAINER MARIA RILKE,
"The Ninth Elegy," trans. Gary Miranda

In the Rain chickens spilling over a wall, chickens jumping like there’s a war

Eileen Myles

A small white piece of an ancient mosaic, I hold it on my palm. Her time here someone else’s spring, a palace spring, company all the time, some part of hope, a continent. March rain, first flowers. Did anyone see her with purple anemones in her eyes, but for Antinous.

some part of hope, a continent.

Mirkka Rekola, tr. Anselm Hollo

with glass sides,

Beautiful music.

Painting of March morning, tree with buds, trunk appears to be a woman reaching into the sky, snowscape, stony shore, lake with mountains behind, sky with clouds.

March morning, Nikolai Astrup, c.1920.

YouTube video by apollosfirebaroque PORPORA/arr. Sorrell "Alto Giove" / FONTANA Sonata no. 8 in D – APOLLO'S FIRE

This aria—arranged here for strings—is sung to Jupiter in Porpora’s opera, Polifemo. Exquisite long silken lines catch your breath.
Pure radiance.
🎻✨
In myth, Jupiter was the ultimate guarantor of law, order, and oaths. We could use more of that—especially after today.
