From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I edit typically on music or history (and occasionally other topics, e.g., philosophy) when I can, which varies considerably. I enjoy all kinds of music, e.g.,

the Orlando Consort's take on Ciconia's prolation canon "Le ray au soleyl" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsKF2G37kkg);

this little gem (a "reminiscence" as in a reprise, analepsis, flashback, or repeat) from the Oper Frankfurt production of Lehár's Die lustige Witwe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFGa9-qgBd0);

the relentless added-second chords in Lou Reed's "I'm Waiting for the Man" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99og_g7rXnA);

Henri Pousseur's composite of apparently incongruous material in Crosses of Crossed Colors performed here by the "vocally powerful and dramatically shrewd" Joy Blackett (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzkhlpctTiA);

the endlessly varied lines of Franco Donatoni's mature music, like in the quasi-concertante Le ruisseau sur l'escalier, commissioned by Paul Méfano (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGjyqRKMw_s).
