Agustín Fernández's programme notes: Wounded Angel
http://fernandeznotes.blogspot.com/2010/02/wounded-angel.html
Agustín Fernández's programme notes. For the use of concert promoters and students. © Agustín Fernández. Sunday, 21 February 2010. The title is borrowed from that of a painting by the Finnish painter Hugo Simberg (1873-1917), in which two peasant children are depicted carrying an injured angel on a stretcher. The music was conceived as a prelude to the picture, in which I attempt to explore the inexplicable: what happened just before the scene Simberg depicts? And by Stefan Östersjö on dB (.

A Northumbrian Diary: A different night

Does Google’s Current Moon Phase gadget take account of your location? You would expect it to, since it knows who you are, and where you are. And yet, at this time in this place I should be seeing a Waxing Gibbous 95 percent of full, whereas in reality the dog and I, on our nightly outing, were only able to observe a hidden glow, with no discernible moon as such behind the clouds.

A Northumbrian Diary: December 2010
http://northumbriandiary.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Yes, as everybody knows, we are snowed in in Northumberland. It happened last winter, and at the time the local council explained away its not coping, assuring us that next time they would be better prepared for extreme weather. Well, this winter came early and is much worse than the last, but relief is less in evidence. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Programme notes / Notas de programa. View my complete profile.

A Northumbrian Diary: May 2011
http://northumbriandiary.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Drought, rain, colours, smell. There has been the longest spell without rain I can remember. Last week, for the first time the canine walks ended with the dog's paws and my wellies as dry as they had been at the start. Dry! Having trodden on grassy soil! Inconceivable, but true. Less kind readers may say that my middle-aged senses are tricking me with mirages of childhood. I contend that the weather is changing so much that some phenomena that used to occur only in southern latitudes are now taking p...

Bob Johnson, Delilah and Miranda before the last-named was left on her own. Does she feel any sense of bereavement? Is loneliness an issue for a hen? I haven’t read enough to know if her species counts among the social animals who need companionship in order to survive. But this one is certainly surviving and, if it’s not too cruel towards the deceased to say so, she is thriving. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Programme notes / Notas de programa.

A Northumbrian Diary: Sun
http://northumbriandiary.blogspot.com/2013/05/sun.html
For much of the last year or so, Northumberland has looked like the land the gods wanted to destroy: ceaseless rain, thunder, floods, landslides, unseasonal cold and lashing winds; a varied arsenal of destructive forces was mercilessly discharged on us.

Tuesday, August 5, 2008. Willy Pozadas, Rubén Vartañán y yo, en la cena de despedida del Maestro Vartañán, alrededor de 1978. Transcribo aquí un aporte que escribí en 2002 y que fue publicado, con alteraciones editoriales no autorizadas, en La Paz ese mismo año. Al comenzar su novela El libro de mi amigo. Otra memoria musical de entonces es que, años antes de que se conociera la recopilación y arreglo de Rogers Becerra, los niños cantábamos Piama. Con una expresividad que causaba embeleso. Mi jubilación ...
