Dover, I admit I am not really into Early Music, I find most of it boring and repetitive and I rarely listen to the R3 programme, I am more inclined to the Wham, Bang, Clash, Shosta type stuff. But, I do like the darker Christ on the Cross music and various Masses to the BvM in Early Music. (I also have cds of Masses from Westminster Cathedral! How sad is that?)Originally posted by doversoul View Post
However, I am glad I gain Brownie Points for owing a Jommelli!!

Nil points for me, Jommelli could have been some exotic pasta for all I knew. But will certainly listen. A little bit of heaven for Anna - Jean Mouton (1459-1522) "Nesciens mater" The Monteverdi Choir/Gardiner: http://youtu.be/_hZHKKD5ahkComment

Like PDQ Bach, he studied with Padre Martini.

Well I heard most of the 6:30 prog on the way home, good stuff it is too
Loved the setting of "Veni, creator spiritus..." (and strange to hear those words so familiar from Gustav M's version, in a baroque idiom)."...the isle is full of noises,

COTW - Jommelli
Can't see a thread on this yet.
jommelli is a composer who has passed me by until now. Really I've been totally unaware of this composer, but today's COTW (Thur, 24/1) had some very worthwile music. it was at least pleasant, and possibly more than that. I may be tempted to listen to these programmes again while I can, and I would recommend setting up recorders etc. to catch the last two proreammes (tonight and tomorrow). You can always delete them later, but I suspect Jommelli won't come round again soon.Comment

Yes - and while he's at it, he can merge "Black music" and "Pronunciation Watch", and, er, David Cameron and Anglo-Saxons....Originally posted by Thropplenoggin View Post[Caliban rubs his hands together with brio at the prospect of another thread merge]

off topic, and trivial, but he got a mention up thread....I think Frescobaldi is just about my favourite name of a composer. Or anybody else.
(Except for Le Tissier, of course).
Anyway, some of the music has been jolly pleasant, but I have to agree that lesser known baroque types do seem a bit over represented on COTW.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.Comment
