Today's marginal musicians come from an English source, the "Tudor Pattern Book", c1520-1530 (Ashmole 1504).

For St Andrew’s Day here is Luskentyre on one of the most dramatic evenings I’ve witnessed on the island.

Some words in the alt-tex for those who like to go deeper 🧡 #Scotland #OuterHebrides 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
The Outer Hebrides in February can be a bleak place. I faced 10 days of grey and rain, and although it is a place that looks great in the rain I was longing for light. Finally, a break. All afternoon, light flooded over Luskentyre and the whole west coast of the island. It gradually built into the inevitable end of the day, but I could not have predicted just how good it would get. My wife decided to stay in the car and read her book while I wondered along the sand dunes, thinking she had the better idea and the light was gone, but when I found my way to the top of the dunes I noticed the passing shower moving towards the Harris Hills then… an explosion. The setting sun catching alight in the low clouds drifting along the hilltops. The dunes were aflame too, warm, inviting, catching the wind as it whistled through the landscape. Then, out of nothing, a magnificent rainbow arching upwards, it’s twin just visible to the left. I talk about magic a lot. But this was the purest distillation of magic. And because it is the nature of magic, it was brief, fleeting, but left an indelible mark on me.

Eglise Saint-Jean de Montmartre. Anatole de Baudot, pupil of Viollet le Duc. High altar Baudot's too. Rare instance of Paris church built (1897-1904) with reinforced cement. Fascinating combination of industrial and ‘oriental’. Scenes from St John’s Gospel and Revelation. Cavaillé-Coll organ.

✨A full day of light within one photo: A few years back I stood outside Wells Cathedral for a full day and photographed the impact of the light on the front facade. I was amazed at the outcome - at how a single entity could morph and change under the changing light. #thread

A Toulouse, une création #lyrique qui s'annonce passionnante, fascinante et (hélas) bien dans l'air politique du temps: quel meilleur angle que l'automne du #fascisme d'hier pour tenter de comprendre (et autant que possible de contrer) celui qui renaît aujourd'hui?

Morning! Here’s a Watership Down illustration I did a few years ago.
A black and white illustration inspired by Richard Adam’s Watership Down. A black and a white spectral rabbit appearing to leap around each other against a background of a sunset through winter trees, flanked with barbed wire.

starting my series of essays on wagner’s ring cycle by putting forth my belief that opera (and the ability to enjoy it) is all about accepting the stakes of a work at face value — and there is no work with higher (eschatological!) stakes than the ring.
