Happy Easter everyone - a special day to celebrate
with family and good friends.

Happy Easter!

[(poco) Sforzando]

Good Pesach!

Many Thanks for the Easter greetings!

It was nice to see a good number of businesses closed on Easter Sunday: not as many as on Christmas, but some major stores here in Columbus were dark.

Our local parish church was fairly crowded too!   0:)

Happy Easter, indeed!

Why not Messiaen's Et Exspecto Resurrectionem Mortuorum?

[Moonfish]

I hope you all have been good GMGers (or is that part of Christmas?  ).
Watch out for a chocoholic Easter Bunny tonight! Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

To those of you who celebrate Easter greetings from me too. Unbelievably, as she is always on about my diet, my wife bought me a chocolate bunny rabbit.

Why not Messiaen's Et Exspecto Resurrectionem Mortuorum?

Indeed. A bit far-fetched for some of the undoubtedly casual Forbes.com readers, not expecting classical music to jump out at them, but then again why not stretch the ears a little. A wonderful work, once one gets the hang of Messiaen. I hope to embed Spotify-blurbs for immediate listening, in the future. Not ideal, but possibly suited for getting a first impression that leads to more.

Happy Easter to all, and to all a good day!


Yes, to Messiaen's Et Exspecto Resurrectionem Mortuorum: I plan on using it for my Latin classes when we return.

Happy Easter to all! (Where's the Bach...oh, yeah, everything's boxed up...dialing Youtube...)

The Spotify embedding sounds like a great idea.

LOL at Messiaen "jumping out at them". I love it when people hear modern classical music for the first time and get surprised that it isn't like Vivaldi or Haydn.

Celebrating with Suzuki's excellent recording. Which is fitting since i recently acquired the last volume of his cantata series. It was a long (and expensive) journey, but it was totally worth it, since i think i like those recordings more than any other.

A little rough, admittedly:

     Jesus:  Render unto César his blackface mods.....

     

     Frank:  Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

     J:         Dude, don't have a hernia, I'm blending in. (adopts sneering "savior" tone....) You should try it, how far will you get in that outfit?

     F:         We'll, at least we agree on the mods, I'm totally into Stevie Ray tones.

     Oh, and Happy Easter from distant friends!

Yeah, happy (belated) Easter for those who celebrate it.
Over the weekend my girlfriend was working with two other young women. When they finished the client appeared and gave them all an Easter egg - a hollow chocolate Easter egg. Last night she brought it through and asked "Want some?" She opened it and found a card inside which said "Here's my number. And here's my hotel room number until Monday evening". We ate the chocolate. Well, I ate approximately 98.999999% of it.

e: and it was good.
