The free shipping coupon Arkivmusic sent out 3 days ago worked this time.

Well then here I go too!



Since the shipping is free and they don't charge sales tax, $49 for four discs. Also worth noting: if you input the free shipping code before choosing your shipping method, they'll let you do all levels of shipping free! (I'm not gonna risk it because I'll be out of town this weekend and don't need it sitting on my porch.)

Interesting!  You would think that it would just be for whatever their "standard shipping" is (like as in UPS-ground)?  That could seriously hurt them if folks ordered "Next Day Air".

"Mrs Philharmonica" is the pseudonym for an otherwise unknown composer:

[The main reason to think the composer was a female seems to be the choice of a female-gendered pseudonym.]

Now to wait and see if Arkiv ships the order...

And it arrived today. Quite unexpectedly Arkivmusic had even sent an email saying it was shipped and providing a tracking number.
I don't remember the last time they did that.

You just knew that we were all going to be scratching our heads going "Does that say Mrs. Philharmonica?".

Well it does say that, because Mrs Philharmonica was an otherwise completely unknown composer from c 1715. Details (such as they are) in my original post.
