With Tony and Beth Tanke and
Harriet at
Cafe Bernardo --
great conversation --
where
we are

dined,
proceeding to

for Voice(s) and Orchestra
Psalm 113- "Laudate pueri" - Praise the Lord [Psalm 112, Monteverdi]

rather than the Greek / Catholic, which is designated as 112)]

Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 (1721 - an impressive early-music, standing, lead-by performers take)

Vivaldi
Bassoon Concerto in Bb Major ("La Notte") (1724 --
with here, as throughout the evening, animated and emotive solo work)
