Music For A While
Wednesday January 19th, 2022 with David Cavlovic
Carnatic Consonance and Spanish Fragrance
I made a mistake! (for visual purposes, a mitsake): in describing the work by Jehan Alain, I gave two compositional dates. The correct date is 1934, not 1936. I deeply regret this unforgivable and egregious error. I shall now head out to the garden and go sulk amongst the earthworms and stinkbugs. Meanwhile, along with the Alain, listen to some wonderful Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Harry Somers, Sheila Chandra, and Manuel de Falla, whilst I ruminate. Don't worry: I shall head back inside before it is dark.
