Getting released from physical therapy a few weeks early today. Is it too early to go zip lining, ya think?
A very early good morning, peeps. Start the day with the Chaconne from the last act of Alcyone by Marin Marais. The opera is based on the Greek myth of Alcione & Ceyx, and holds a special place with me... #ClassicalMusic #opera youtu.be/dUb8yE5Vp1I?...

This is why David should not be allowed more than two cups of coffee on Mondays. (Also, despite this bad musical pun, you should listen to his show)

Be still my heart #STL! Usually law-abiding me & others from my Roll or Die kayak group once got busted for putting in & paddling #ForestPark when such things were not allowed. Back then, I didn’t need to ask a neurosurgeon if it was OK, tho 🤔 More recovery motivation! www.paddleforestpark.com

There’s something quietly triumphant about listening to Erlebach with gratitude instead of elegy—not mourning the works lost to fire. His words on artistic integrity: “Things that are honest and fair give me pleasure…false appearances are conquered by sincerity in the end.” 🎵 #ClassicalMusic

Celebrating yesterday’s 85th birthday of Spanish viol player and conductor Jordi Savall. My introduction to him (and the viol) was his music for the 1991 French film, “Tous les Matins du Monde” about the reclusive 17th century French viola de gamba player and composer Sainte Colombe (1640-1700).

Ian Janssen@ianfjanssen.bsky.social · 5d agoBest Greek text of the Odyssey? @lisasass.bsky.social and I will be reading the new translation together, and while I can’t hack reading Greek anymore, let alone the arcane Greek of Homeric epic, I’d like to refer to the text for words and phrases as my feeble skills permit. Recommendations?

Classicists, FYI, today's Take is that we are not allowed to comment on Nolan's Odyssey because we are too close to the source material.

Has there been discussion of the quality of Wilson's blank verse? I remember being a bit unsure of it with the Iliad, but convinced by the Odyssey. It's not just a conservative choice but a hard one with illustrious predecessors (both Brownings!), and I think she makes it work.
Oh, pour a big cup of something and settle in for your long read of the day. Emily Wilson takes on #Odysseus. Read the book, tho not her translation yet. Looking forward to seeing it this week with @ianfjanssen.bsky.social at #STL Science Center’s IMAX.
@blazerexpat.bsky.social · last wk.Excellent (and informative) review by a translater of The Odyssey. She's very critical though notes that the movie is entertaining and that it may prompt some people to read the book.
“Mary Oliver recaps a 7-1 Mariners loss to the Rangers” I’m not a baseball fan. I’m also not a fan of Mary Oliver’s poetry. Maybe it’s why this resonated: her transcendent attentiveness to geese, ponds, and wildness colliding with a nine-inning meltdown. 😁 #MLB #poetry @lookoutlanding.bsky.social

Good morning, peeps! Handel’s, “As steals the morn” feels very Sunday morning. As steals the morn upon the night, And melts the shades away: So Truth does Fancy's charm dissolve, And rising Reason puts to flight The fumes that did the mind involve, Restoring intellectual day. #classicalmusic

Nanoraptor@nanoraptor.danamania.com · 2w agoYou suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?
Ricercar is coming out with the complete works of Bach’s ancestors! Heinrich was J.S. Bach’s great-uncle. 🍽️ You know, the one who always brought those great casseroles to church dinners. 🤭 Wait, wrong uncle. 🎹 *This* Heinrich was a church organist in Arnstadt. #classicalmusic

Good morning, peeps. Have some Couperin & Scott Ross to start the day. Couperin "Les Idées heureuses" Probably best not to expect coherent or polite conversation from me until I’ve had coffee or it’s around 3PM—whichever comes first. #needcoffee #classicalmusic youtu.be/r-MIWDcdt_k?...
