On top of that, Moderato (like a prayer) is probably one of the loveliest most fitting tempo instructions I've seen in a musical score.

I've always adored Aaron Copland's work as a general rule, so it was a pleasant surprise to learn that the original arrangement of Appalachian Spring was more stripped back. Still gets equally dusty in the room come the final Coda. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBGx...

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

This hurts, a musical pioneer who is a major loss to the world of synthpop and beyond.

As a rule, I tend to only watch 2 news programmes on a semi-regular basis when time allows. One is Channel 4 News, the other is the PBS Newshour, still abiding by the excellent principles of MacNeil/Lehrer journalism - long may that continue.

Age is but a number, and secondary to enthusiasm and such.
