I’ve been attending events during the Carmel Bach Festival.
The concerts are the reason, partly, for the Festival. Most of the musicians
have been participating for a number of years. There’s also an emphasis on
learning about music almost always with a Bach twist. I’m finding it very
helpful in figuring out how to promote organ and organ music to non-organists. Always there are concerts given using period
instruments. How does that horn player get all those pitches without valves?
Probably using the same brain over body process as an organist uses to play a
fugue. Another topic to consider another day.
During the lecture last night, I was so caught up in the
topic (what A to use…..440 Hz or 415 Hz) that I almost tatted past an important
spot without a bead placed. I must have broken the bead. I know I triple
checked each section as I was loading the beads. I know I had it right. But, there
we have it.
Now, this is a http://www.beanile.comNina Libin pattern. It’s exciting to see it
come about and I’m happily working away. There are also 150 beads between the
gap and the end of the thread. I’m NOT going to take all those beads off just
to get on bead added. I’m going to try adding just that bead. We’ll see how
successful I am. I’m waiting for daylight to work on it. It’s been so foggy
lately I may be waiting until afternoon to have sun. And then the beach beckons
with the sunlight dancing off the waves, the whales feeding, and general peacefulness.
And there’s another lecture tonight on Idomeneo. Better get crackin’
!
Those pieces are so beautiful!!! I can't wait to see the completed pieces!!! :)
