I think you have misinterpreted Esmeralda Weatherwax's reaction. My feeling is that she doesn't EQUATE this "worship band" with the West Gallery musicians of the past. On the contrary. Apart from this little detail I entirely agree with you, gratefully, in everything else.

Is that piece available? I would like to publish a lute/guitar arrangement of it on my website... Thanks! Laura,

]]> Comment on So where was everybody? by John Tyson http://serpentpublications.org/laymusic/?p=2899&cpage=1#comment-3261 John Tyson Mon, 11 Jul 2011 17:58:38 +0000 http://serpentpublications.org/laymusic/?p=2899#comment-3261 Hi Laura, I'm from Los Angeles (the "other" John Tyson). This was my first time at BEMF, and it was about the most memorable week of my life! I'm embarassed to say that I gave short shrift to the recorders though; with the main events being at Jordan Hall and most of the rest being up in the Commons area, I had conflicts in getting back and forth in time (I probably could have done more if I had been more comfortable with the subway). I did get to John's performance at NEC, Frances Blaker's at Covenant and Mezzaluna's at Jordan, but missed Aldo Abreu, the recorder relay, the master class, the coached playing session, and the ARS awards. Oh well, maybe two years from now, if I'm physically and monetarily able to make it! Hi Laura,

He was such a nice dog and you were together for a very long time. When Beethoven died under similar circumstances I couldn't believe how much it hurt. My thoughts are with you. Esther Dear Laura,

I am so sad to hear of Sunny’s death. He was such a nice dog and you were together for a very long time. When Beethoven died under similar circumstances I couldn’t believe how much it hurt. My thoughts are with you.

We were the loud medieval band, Unfortunately, the program literature didn't have our name in it! It just had the name of our program "Raucus Renaissance". The band's name is Diab olis In Musica. We had a blast, an d want to thank you and everyone else for being so responsive. Hope to see you next year, a nd hopefully, we'll have learned new songs by then. We've been playing the same dozen or so songs for several years at shows, and the preparations for a season takes up more time than we have to work on new material. Let me know how you enjoyed our show! Thanks! Dave Irish Hi Laura,

John Tyson, who comes to DC to teach, first told me about it. To facilitate searching, it would be helpful to search not only by composers but also by the number of players the piece is for. For example, I belong to a trio and would like to have a listing of everything in your database that is for three players. (Actually, I looked through each composer for 3-part pieces.) THank you for considering this suggestion. Best, Jane Udelson I really like your website. John Tyson, who comes to DC to teach, first told me about it.
