I’ve been listening to a lot of music the last few weeks while getting ready for Music of the Baroque’s 2008-09 season (one of my greatest job responsibilities), but I’m starting to worry a little. No matter how hard I try to think about other things, there are two pieces that won’t stop running through my mind: this chorus from Purcell’s The Fairy Queen, which is full of brilliant text-setting (scroll down to find an audio clip), and the “Laudamus te” from the Gloria of Bach’s superlative Mass in B Minor. Oh, well. If my life now has a soundtrack, at least the music is good.
What about you? What are you listening to this summer?
