Somerset Confidential Somerset Council Elbit Systems I was in full support of the council finally showing some backbone and now we see them backtracking when they are placed under pressure from the military industrial complex. Terrible.

Something mainstream to start the week with: Johannes Brahms: Piano Quartet No. 3 in C minor youtube.com/watch?v=iyAiXN…

Somerset Confidential Kit Chapman MBE Barry Havenhand Sean Dromgoole Susannah Hickling Guy Smith bryn thompson りな Elena de la Quintaine Emma Depledge Len Copland Thought the composer struck a chord; checking my collection have a couple of his ' di Corpo'.
I am however familiar with Le Poem Harmonique as I some of their recordings. The soprano here being almost certainly Claire Lefilliatre.
The 'group' tackle quite a range - check UT.

Fascinating. Somerset Council issues an apology because Elbit Systems in UK claims it does not supply the IDF.
In the interest of transparency - the parent company in Israel certainly does.
Does that mean that no components made in the UK go into products made by the parent?

Elena de la Quintaine Somerset Confidential Kit Chapman MBE Barry Havenhand Sean Dromgoole Susannah Hickling Guy Smith bryn thompson りな Emma Depledge Len Copland Having checked Ensalada, a clue lies above ' A lighter note ' - pertaining to polyphonic secular (as opposed to Liturgical) music........
of 4 voices and that mixes dialects and languages seemingly specifically with a 'Spanish flavour.'

Disability discrimination in #Wells ? A council without councillors? Alarm about an arms company, our Wincanton health story reprised and an eclectic #Somerset Festival. Never a dull moment!

Somerset Confidential Barry Havenhand Sean Dromgoole Susannah Hickling Guy Smith bryn thompson りな Elena de la Quintaine jim murray Emma Depledge Len Copland Enjoyed this while being intrigued by a sequence of images I couldn’t entirely fathom : dealing, I think, with themes of sin, godliness, violent conflict, life’s agonies & joys, hell and damnation. Perhaps the intellectuals and aesthetes among us could offer their interpretation?

Early music again this morning but striking a lighter note: Pere Alberch Vila - La Lucha youtube.com/watch?v=bkE3_9…

Susannah Hickling Somerset Confidential Kit Chapman MBE Barry Havenhand Sean Dromgoole Guy Smith bryn thompson りな Elena de la Quintaine Emma Depledge Len Copland Composed for Tenebrae ( Lamentations and all that ) perhaps....but its a setting of the Gloria. But yes very moody.

Somerset Confidential Kit Chapman MBE Barry Havenhand Sean Dromgoole Guy Smith bryn thompson りな Elena de la Quintaine jim murray Emma Depledge Len Copland Beautiful, lively and almost disturbing, I found.

I should add a brief note that this is the 450th classical composer we have covered in our morning music sessions!

Another piece of early music to start us off this morning: Queldryk: Gloria youtube.com/watch?v=7ErcId….

Somerset Confidential Barry Havenhand Sean Dromgoole Susannah Hickling Guy Smith bryn thompson りな Elena de la Quintaine jim murray Emma Depledge Len Copland Only listened to the piano trios which I loved. We read that Fragoso died tragically at the age of 21 - a huge potential talent unfulfilled. In these trios, there is a tendency for the violin (perhaps Fragoso’s favoured instrument) to overwhelm the cello. A pity.
