Comment on Cantata BWV 127 – Herr Jesus Christ wahr’ Mensch und Gott by Dan Brown

I don’t see an author’s name, but enjoyed this discussion. I thought you (and your readers) might be interested in something similar I’ve put together: an online appreciation of Bach from the perspective of melody, harmony, and counterpoint. This “book” is called “Why Bach?” If you’re curious, you can see a brief Excerpt at http://www.whybach.com . If you have a look I (and a listen) I hope you enjoy.

Yup, knew about soundfonts. And they certainly make all the difference. But I was talking about what happens out of the box and without any special hardware or configuration. Noteworthy Composer doesn’t need a soundfont to approximate other instruments from the get go. That was my (probably poorly expressed) point. Have altered the wording slightly to make it clearer what I meant. Thanks for drawing attention to it.

MuseScore can play a lot more than piano! Just installed a soundfont (http://musescore.org/handbook/soundfont)

Ouch! Having suffered from deep cuts in my feet caused by a huge psoriasis attack last year, I can somewhat relate to what you’re going through. Hope it all goes away quickly, it’s not fun to not be able to walk.
We have a problem with the local fauna as well. Had to move all the herbs to a high platform: the bandicoots just love parsley, thyme, basil and whatever else they can sink their teeth into!

Comment on Canberra : City of Contrasts by Noons

Thanks for the tip on the expo, definitely a must go!

And I hear what you say about thr Rydges…
I have given up on most of the big name hotels in Canberra.

Now I just look up a suburban motel or B&B with a reasonable price and off-street parking and that’s it: a lot cheaper, usualy there is a pub attached to them with reasonable food and in Canberra nothing is too far from anywhere else, anyways!

Yes, well, that certainly makes Dürr look astonishingly cheap. But I still find $85 for a paperback about an old composer stonkingly expensive!

Oh, and @Craig… no, I’ve bought lots of non-electronic things in my time. And lunch will have to wait until February. We are up to our necks in it at the moment.

My wife bought it for me for my 40th… didn’t have the heart to tell her that I’d already read it.
