Five days away from Baroque bliss

On Tuesday, May 8 at 11am, Passion for Music takes place; it will be
the bee's knees and the cat's pajamas all rolled into one tasty morsel
of goodness. I am rather riveted by Baroque and positively over the
moon about this event. Music aficionados who fancy fine music from
this period will be pleased as punch with this lecture before lunch.
Those who are not familiar with this splendid section of musical
history are more than welcome to venture forth for an hour of
discovery.

Farah, our music librarian par excellence, carefully minds
the music collection, enhancing it with choice titles and is your
grand guide through the world of wondrous tunes in a time when
Shakespeare's plays were quite fresh and new, Elizabeth I was not long
gone and music was rich and resonant.

Pieces from England, France, Germany and Italy are on the menu,
covering a range of forms, styles and genres found in vocal and
instrumental music. This music offers a wonderful, magical and
exciting world. It has the power to make you weep with joy or bring
you to another place in time. At the very least it manages to stir
some emotion, possibly delight and maybe even inspire. This is your
chance to partake in the very first edition of this aural excitement.
We are looking forward to your company on Tuesday morning for the
sweet treat.
