In March of 1721, Johann Sebastian Bach carefully inked six of his best concertos into a book for the Margrave of Brandenburg, Christian Ludwig. The original title, “Six Concerts à plusieurs instruments” is now known as the “Brandenburg” Concertos in English or “Brandenburgische Konzerte” in German. These six concertos represent the summa of chamber music in the high baroque period, and the third concerto (BWV 1048) is noted for its rich texture of three violins, three violas and three cellos, with a continuo part for the harpsichord and violone. The original title is as follows: “Concerto 3zo [terzo] a tre Violini, tre Viole, è tre Violoncelli col Basso per il Cembalo”. On the continuo part, Bach has written “Violone & Cembalo”, and this is how it is performed in the video, just as it is indicated in the original manuscript.
Enjoy, Jack

There are calls to boycott Coca-Cola after the business largely stood by as its home state, Georgia, passed severe voting restrictions. The boycott is being led by the AME Sixth Episcopal District of Georgia, which includes over 500 Black churches.

Another interesting observation from the red hole in the ground. Last night talking with a handful of the locals one changed discussion to how insane and inept President Biden is and what a disaster the presser was. Of course I stayed quiet so as to listen intently to the alternate universe. A little “education” about SFB just being a bit of a goofball and how much good he was doing. Then the discussion slithered over to a discussion about how the Democrats are not the Dems of the seventies. I agreed, and added that the republican (gqp) party is not even a shred like the party was in the seventies also. I talked about how anti-communist and anti-soviet and were the party of diversity and big tent. And, how today’s party members to go Russia to spend the Fourth of July with Putin. “I never head this, who went there?” I gave a list and he indicated extreme surprise “I will need to look this up, it is hard to believe”. Yup, hard to believe the anti-democracy party would prefer Putin to America.
A little late, but I just discovered this Joan Baez salute to Trump.
