Pierrot Lunaire: Priorities
http://pierrotlunaire123.blogspot.com/2009/09/priorities.html
Nescio quid dicas. Ita erat quando hic adveni. Wednesday, 30 September 2009. Since moving to Brussels, I have:. Joined an orchestra,. Joined a church and its choir,. Found a pub with live cricket on TV, and. Bought bookshelves and put my books on them in alphabetical order. Joined a gym,. Bought a sofa,. Signed up with a doctor or dentist,. Found a hairdresser, or. Unpacked all my clothes. I'm not entirely sure I've got my priorities straight. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Pierrot Lunaire: Is it Christmas already?
http://pierrotlunaire123.blogspot.com/2011/11/is-it-christmas-already.html
Nescio quid dicas. Ita erat quando hic adveni. Tuesday, 8 November 2011. Is it Christmas already? Well, obviously, no it isn't. But at choir rehearsal tonight we started practising for the carol service, which makes Christmas seem terrifyingly close! A lot of the music is, of course, very familiar - it would be a very disappointing carol service that didn't include Hark, The Herald Angels Sing. And O Come, All Ye Faithful. But among the pieces that I hadn't heard before is this absolutely gorgeous one:.

Pierrot Lunaire: Déjà vu
http://pierrotlunaire123.blogspot.com/2010/11/deja-vu.html
Nescio quid dicas. Ita erat quando hic adveni. Saturday, 20 November 2010. Belgium 12 - 43 Canada. So, umm. Gosh! Fancy seeing you here! Long time no see. Many, many things to report from the last mumble mumble. We certainly didn't see anything that could match up to this beauty (about 50-odd seconds into the video):. And what do you reckon the chances are that I'll get round to posting about anything else before, say, Christmas? Yes, that's what I thought. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Pierrot Lunaire: Dona Eis Requiem
http://pierrotlunaire123.blogspot.com/2011/11/dona-eis-requiem.html
Nescio quid dicas. Ita erat quando hic adveni. Wednesday, 2 November 2011. Today is All Souls' Day. Which we commemorated at church this evening with a performance of Fauré's Requiem. Fabulous piece of music, and as a viola player I can only approve of a score with divided violas and cellos and only one violin :-) This time, though, I was singing alto - the Offertoire. Is our big moment, but my favourite section is the Libera Me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Pierrot Lunaire: Touch, pause, engage!
http://pierrotlunaire123.blogspot.com/2010/04/touch-pause-engage.html
Nescio quid dicas. Ita erat quando hic adveni. Thursday, 29 April 2010. Touch, pause, engage! Belgium 29 - 8 Poland. Belgium is not exactly renowned as a great rugby-playing nation. Nor is Poland. Nonetheless, they do both have national teams of a sort, and last Saturday was the culmination of their 2009-10 season: the final match in Division 2A of the European Nations Cup. Gosh, I hear you say. The European Nations Cup. Which itself rose from the metaphorical ashes of the old Heysel stadium (yes, that.

Pierrot Lunaire: Feminism Fail?
http://pierrotlunaire123.blogspot.com/2011/04/feminism-fail.html
Nescio quid dicas. Ita erat quando hic adveni. Friday, 1 April 2011. I've recently finished reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. And I have Opinions About It. None of which are particularly novel or interesting, I expect, but since when has that ever stopped anyone in the blogosphere? The rucksack contained her Apple iBook 600 with a twenty-five-gig hard drive and 420 megs of R.am, manufactured in January 2002 and equipped with a thirty-five-centimetre screen.". I mean, seriously. But that's not the ...

Pierrot Lunaire: April is the cruellest month
http://pierrotlunaire123.blogspot.com/2010/04/april-is-cruellest-month.html
Nescio quid dicas. Ita erat quando hic adveni. Saturday, 10 April 2010. April is the cruellest month. More poetry, just because:. From The Waste Land. By T S Eliot. APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding. Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing. Memory and desire, stirring. Dull roots with spring rain. Winter kept us warm, covering. Earth in forgetful snow, feeding. A little life with dried tubers. Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee. With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade,.

Pierrot Lunaire: On graphic novels and films thereof
http://pierrotlunaire123.blogspot.com/2009/04/on-graphic-novels-and-films-thereof.html
Nescio quid dicas. Ita erat quando hic adveni. Wednesday, 8 April 2009. On graphic novels and films thereof. Alan Moore famously hates all film adaptations of his graphic novels, and refuses to have his name in the credits. His argument is, in essence, that it's impossible to adapt them: they were specifically written to exploit the features of the comic-book medium, and therefore another medium cannot possibly do them justice. To a certain extent, I can see where he's coming from: the film version.

Pierrot Lunaire: RTD, I'd like a word with you.
http://pierrotlunaire123.blogspot.com/2009/07/rtd-id-like-word-with-you.html
Nescio quid dicas. Ita erat quando hic adveni. Saturday, 11 July 2009. RTD, I'd like a word with you. On Wednesday, I was all set to write a post about how impressed I was with the new mini-series of Torchwood. And then I watched Day 4. How could they kill Ianto? As good as Tosh's - and Gareth David-Lloyd totally did it justice. So, what's next? From what I've heard, they were going to decide whether to make a fourth series depending on the ratings for the third - and they were very, very good at around ...
