Here's some more doodles!!! I love how these turned out and the camera must have been touched by heaven because for once it wasn't blurry!!!

The first doodle is Beethoven yelling at Schubert.

The second is Tina looking worried.

The third is of Purcell holding a box with Tina beside him.

The fourth and fifth doodles are of Mendelssohn and Chopin realizing they accidentally hit Mozart!

The sixth picture is the full picture of the entire page.

And the seventh picture is of Liszt panicking after seeing a rat!

but this one is also really good:

and there’s a video version with maria ewing i’ve been meaning to watch for like forever but i still haven’t but maria ewing is incredible in everything so:

J'entrais dans l'espace des saisons, ce seuil d'un invisible cycle,

le chant qu'il faut suivre, l'oraison qui se signale enfin.

J'entrais dans le bel âge, celui que l'on reçoit au plus intime de soi

cette empreinte devant nous comme une lumière de l'intérieur.

Interest check for Opera stream!

Dido and Aeneas by Henry Purcell, recording with Malena Ernman from Opéra Comique 2008. Same as Fairy Queen, the opera is entirely in english so no subs. It's short about 1 hour runtime.

I don't really do linear TV, but I was informed by a reliable source that there would be a broadcast of a concert of music by Purcell tonight so I tuned in and I'm not disappointed. It is the Funeral Music for Queen Mary and I cannot wait for My Beloved Spake.

I'm also wondering if the scheduling was done on purpose, given it's 7 March where I am and Mary's funeral was on 8 March 1695...?
