Songs for a Sunday: If it ain’t Baroque don’t fix it.
Probably the oldest music joke in history, although there was a manuscript uncovered in a 14th century monastery which read:
Two Gregorian monks walk into a bar and one says to the other:
“Any chants you can lend me a quarter for a glass of wine?”
It hasn’t been dated yet, but historical records show this was the first use of the eyeroll.
Orchestral music. It isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but if it is, you might prefer one era over the other. One of my favorites is baroque music. Bach is an obvious well known composer, but Telemann apparently wrote 3000 pieces of music. You will note some similarities in the two concertos.
