Jen og jeg hat en koncert i går på Church of the Ascension i Twin Falls. Vi spillede Landini, Machaut, Høffding og Matys og koncerten var dejligt, men.....Der var en ny stykke af en amerikansk komponist som bor i Finland. Det var sin mormors 90. fødselsdag, og det nye stykke og koncerten var for hende. Det var et bizarre stykke i 7/8 og 11/8 med klaver og det var meget svært. Sidste uge tænkte jeg at måske er jeg et dårligt musiker og måske skulle jeg ikke spille igen. Det gik bedre på weekenden, men jeg var ikke så god på den sidste side. Komponisten hader os ikke, men han var meget nervøs.
Jeg vil hellere spille middelaldernes musik på douçaine, men Jen og jeg har en god ting her. Bratsch og basklarinet. Ingen gøre det bedre. Det er bare fordi vi er den eneste duo i denne måde.
Nu arbejder vi på Be Dolce for Darkwood, vores fund-raiser. Jeg håber og beder om mange penge.
About Me
- Aage
- I drink a lot of TaB cola and Carlsberg beer, but not together. I am a professional musician, specializing in bass clarinet and tenor douçaine (like a medieval oboe), but also teach a lot of clarinet and saxophone. I play in the Boise Philharmonic, the Sun Valley Summer Symphony, Darkwood Consort and Virelai des Bois. I teach as an adjunct at the College of Idaho and Northwest Nazarene University. I am a convert to Catholicism (from Lutheranism) but remain somewhat pinko-lefty. I have watched Days of Our Lives since the seventies. I speak Danish, English and French. Well, I try to speak French. My Danish is better even though I am self-taught. For that matter, my Danish could be better too. That's why I sometimes do this blog in Danish. It's a learning tool and it garners me a little privacy while I post my silliness on the web. When I'm not talking about the douçaine (which is rare) or other medieval topics, I am usually rambling about something (or someone) Danish, especially Anne Linnet. I have adopted Buffy Sainte-Marie as my own personal Elvis. My students get quite the enthusiastic lecture if they ask about the Indian woman on the wall.
