Today was a very good day! In the morning my new dulcian and I made our debut playing for other people in a church service. A motet by Orlando di Lassso, I had the bass part, other voices were singers. Our choir director was pleased so I'm hoping this opportunity will repeat itself.
After that traveled to the Hague for a dulcian lesson , to show my new instrument and to return the loaner dulcian I had had from my teacher. Very good lesson and he was also pleased by my new instrument.
On the way back, found a fruit ice cream that I actually can eat (lots of food sensitivities). Perfect way to celebrate!
Plan for the rest of the evening is to listen to the final live stream of the Utrecht Early Music Festival. Tallis' Spem in Alium, it would probably be more impressive live, but the concert is sold out.

On deck on a beautiful Saturday evening digging into some of the CDs I have “inherited” from my mother who’s been sorting through my late father’s things as preparations continue to sell the house the folks bought in July of 1972 (where I spent my “formative years”) and my mom, at a spry nearly 89 years old, is on a list for senior living. End of life shit sucks. Still, can’t really go wrong with Franz Josef Haydn.

I'm having a brain glitch: what do you call a classically trained "operatic" soprano whose career is more in concert work - oratorio, choral solos, art song / lieder, recitals, etc ?? I want to just say "concert soprano" but is that going to translate to the illiterate masses?
