Absolutely convinced these are the best last words of any opera protagonist

Watching a truly gorgeous production of Lully's "Atys", and just when I thought it couldn't get any better they have catboys, this is the best!

I can't believe you can just slap on a French overture (atys) and then an overture by a French guy (titon et l'aurore), and you're allowed to ??? no one stops you, and it's free?

Classical Pride

I know I'm too late for Pride Month. And I wasn't planning on posting much this year related to Pride, mostly because the category of "queer composers" includes a large span of styles and eras where the sexuality or gender identity may not necessarily be relevant to the music.

However (at the very least here in America) the political atmosphere has made queerness "controversial" again, and whenever there's a vocal effort to erase queerness and insist upon a heteronormative view of culture, history, biology, psychology, morality, etc. it only ever leads to real world harm for all of us.

So I don't think Pride Month should end just because the corporate calendar is ready for the next marketable holiday or season; don't be afraid to say "Gay" or "Trans" or "Queer", we exist and have always existed and here are some contributions to classical music history (with a few significant Jazz composers).

This list is a mix, mostly music by LGBT composers (either those who self-identify, or those who were alive before the category was articulated but evidence shows they could be classified as "queer"), and some that are on queer subjects (i.e. the only Bach piece here is an aria he wrote for a cantata where the sun god Phoebus (Apollo) mourns the death of his lover Hyacinth, and accepts that through love he is never truly dead).

If there are any LGBT composers, or thematic works, that you think should be included, please let me know!

Here's a bunch of picrews I've done of me over the years. Creator tags on most of 'em, though some have been lost to time.

I just remembered that I actually met Jean-Baptiste Lully a few months ago! I played this abandonware game Versailles 1685 from 1997 in which you walk around the palace of Louis XIV and get to know what a day in the life of people there was like. It's a pretty educational game which I didn't finish because the endless cumbersome walking around and the random-ass ways the game wants you to solve its quests (as is ever the way of old-school adventure games) get really tedious after a while.

But I did meet Lully! He stands in a corner with his little music nerd implements and delights in being moody & ordering you around, as is the norm for these rockstar types. I took a screenshot of me starting drama between him and the poet Racine whose handwriting he can't decipher:
