With Harriet and I still accommodating ourselves to the notion of a new vehicle in the household,
it
is
time
to
make off with the old to DVC,
where information old and new (including a Harmonic Series demonstration on Baroque Trumpet by Monty Bairos) is shared in preparation for Quiz 7 tomorrow.
Great compositions by John Veitch and company,
followed by a
not-harried-though-hurried
home effort to grade two sets of papers in
just
enough
time
before
the
evening
transit
back
for
Music History, where we proceed from Claudio Monteverdi through J.S. Bach,
looking ahead to the Classical and Early Romantic.
