Can it be January already?

Not that I don't like Christmas or don't want to do sushi on New Year's Eve with the Nazgul, or anything. But really, I can't wait to properly app Urquhart (scots_wolf). He's moving into my brain as energetically as no charrie since Teja has done.

He's already acquired a 'theme song', a poem that he quotes in canon.

Here's the version of it that occurs in Orff's 'Carmina Burana', and this one is the Corvus Corax version.


Oh, and just to research history in order to properly evoke that world! Can you get addicted to the past?

Actually, the 'Goliard's Confession' by the Archipoeta, which Urquhart canonically quotes to a fake monk before murdering him by massage in a bath-house -- I said his methods of killing can be bizarre?

But yes, that's the first part of the 'In Taverna' section of the Orff version. And as far as your local performance is concerned -- are there any parts of it on YouTube? By now, there often are. People forever link to their amateur orchestras etc. I like that, too -- the time when classical music was just a few recordings by highly professional international performers is over again. People were actually worried that the standards were getting too high, and general active music by amateurs was going under. No more, thanks to YouTube etc. -- music gets more grassroots againg.

Sorry, will stop preachifying.-
