Blog post #50 Monday Morning Moment

Indeed, it’s difficult to deny, but there it is and here we are in a place where, once again, the poor and the powerless near and far, are at the bottom of the heap.
But let me do a Stacey share with you to make you smile.
He was conducting a fiendishly difficult score for a left of centre opera company.
The composer had written something in 17/16 or thereabouts, with an ornament mid-bar and Stace was in the middle of explaining it to the ensemble when the composer came into the rehearsal.
He drew her to one side to ask her for assistance with it and she said, “oh don’t get hung up on the beats! It’s just the general effect I’m after.”
Have a lovely week perfecting the general effect of your days.
​Love to all. Kxx
