It includes many future early music stars, like Julie Andrijeski, Maia Silberstein, Katie Rietman, Janet Youngdahl, Dan Elyar, Tish Berlin, Chris Haritatos, & others. Many of the dances are from Pécour 1700. So, RIP Anne. Here's Hommage à la danse Baroque.

I heard on Sept. 16 that my grad school friend Anne Witherell had died of cancer. Her dissertation on Pécour's 1700 dance treatise was hugely responsible for advancing our understanding of French baroque dance. In her memory, I had this 1991 student performance video digitized.
On this day in 1938, Judy recorded "Over the Rainbow!"
Here is my 2019 post about the re-discovery of the original film arrangement:

R.I.P. James Earl Jones, whose feats meant so much to so many people—not least those of us who grew up stuttering, for whom he stood as a kind of patron saint for the difference between quality of speech and power of voice. He stuttered all his life. https://t.co/lTBeetbXe3
@abcdtweets@ifagiolini@ExCathedraEd Speaking of engaging repertoire, it was with youth choirs in mind that I recently edited this series: 12 vols. Sacred & secular works from England, France, Germany, Italy, & Spain, plus vols. of Rounds & Canons. Please explore & enjoy! https://t.co/IK5LMn11lV
Snoqualmie Falls near Seattle. The bit of white at bottom right is water from the first hydroelectric diversion (1899) returned to the stream “unharmed” (but maybe very dizzy from the turbines)!

The amazing thing about this Dürer exhibit is that all of the works on display are from the Huntington's own collections! I was also struck by differences between his woodcuts and engravings – something not really noticeable in reproductions. Worth a visit!
In his 20s, Albrecht Dürer traveled throughout Europe, and it shaped his artistic education and world view.
His skills as a printmaker and prolific artist-publisher are explored in an exhibition #atTheH.

I should gloss this reference with a link to a 1981 Micrologus radio program on the 1520 event. (Audio and transcript available.) Despite the rain, the music was good then too: Fayrfax & Cornysh on the English side, and Sermisy & Jannequin on the French! https://t.co/dtaQ7GVVU8
Chapeau to @barneyronay for a ‘Field of the Cloth of Gold’ reference! 1520 extravaganza with François I hosting Henry VIII. It rained then too! https://t.co/cKJE5z6G3x
My neighborhood is infested (endowed) with many peacocks. As one stepped gracefully across my path today, I immediately thought of the pavan. That derivation for the dance is now discounted by OED & Grove, but it sure looked like a processional dance! Peacocks in Padua, perhaps?
Interesting document but it looks odd to me to see all these names listed, with some in Secretary and some in italic hand. Signatures? Inadvertent? https://t.co/zDJ0DG7xK2
