The Gdańsk Tablature is a collection of 42 keyboard pieces in the state archive in Gdańsk(Danzig) and carries the year 1591 as an inscription. You can find my write up and some of my own performances of repertoire from that collection on my blog.

By no means a new upload, but somehow I managed to keep it the post as a draft which went unnoticed for a long time. Well.....until today.

It's National Pie Week or British Pie Week, apparently.
Just the excuse I needed to have pie 😀
This is one of those British food items I have come to love and can't live without.
Funny how so many countries on this planet came to make some sort of filled pastry dishes.

I hate fireplaces in pubs. Makes me not want to move 😂
The wonder Ship Inn in Richmond, London. I forgot how much we love it in here.

Had a lovely trip to old city or Canterbury yesterday.
Exploring the alleys and twittens, enjoying some great pub food, and finishing off with an choral evensong in Britain's oldest cathedral.
Loved the vibe and feel of the city I think I'll definitely visit again this year.

Everytime we have to deal with the delivery company Evri, we are reminded just how atrocious the company and their customer service is.
Scheduling a collection for a return and communication from Evri is a total disaster. Shame so many retailers use them for delivery.

My own write up about the Braunsberg-Oliva Tablature and Jan Janca's 1994 recording with pieces from the collection, which were my first contact with "early music".
Plus a link to my playlist with my own home recordings from the tablature.

Pleased to be one of six winners of last year's contest for arranging music by M.K. Čiurlionis for the automatic carillon at Gdańsk Town Hall.
My arrangement of Prelude in F/a, VL188, will play every day in January at just before 15:00 starting today. Little proud moment for me 😀

The nice thing about the calendar ticking over into December is that I do not need to feel any awkward guilt listening to J.S. Bach's Christmas Oratorio.
While I love Christmas carols in general, nothing puts me into quite the Christmas mood and mind set as this.
