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...

A Northumbrian Diary: September 2009

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.

A Northumbrian Diary: September 2012
http://northumbriandiary.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Full moon in Northumberland. Moon of Northumberland. If more people could see what I see, there would be even less sanity in the world. It can turn the most reasonable person into a berserker. It was a large, round moon hanging alone in the southwest quadrant of the sky’s vault at 1840. When a thin cloud slid across it, knifing it in two halves, the memory of Wozzek. A virginal she - la luna -. On the Mediterranean, a sinister he - der Mond -. You would expect it to, since it knows who you are, and where...

Agustín Fernández, composer: March 2014

Agustín Fernández, composer. This is the blog of the composer Agustín Fernández. The Momenta Quartet's performance was impressive indeed. I greatly admired the commitment and the intensity of their rendition. Each of the four individuals showed command of their part and their role in this challenging piece. The succession of solos in the second movement Plegaria. The audience was appreciative. It included some people I had long known and admired, such as the composer Ezequiel Viñao. String Quartet No 2.

Mientras esperamos con curiosidad e impaciencia la documentación que nos prepara Bolivia Clásica, aquí pongo las versiones computarizadas de Arreglos bolivianos. Ventajas: los tempos, los ritmos y las duraciones de las notas son exactos, tal como están escritos; la afinación es correcta; las dinámicas son consistentes. Desventajas: no hay expresión; no hay flexibilidad, no hay...
