Agustín Fernández's programme notes: Wounded Angel

http://fernandeznotes.blogspot.com/2010/02/wounded-angel.html

Agustín Fernández's programme notes. For the use of concert promoters and students. © Agustín Fernández. Sunday, 21 February 2010. The title is borrowed from that of a painting by the Finnish painter Hugo Simberg (1873-1917), in which two peasant children are depicted carrying an injured angel on a stretcher. The music was conceived as a prelude to the picture, in which I attempt to explore the inexplicable: what happened just before the scene Simberg depicts? And by Stefan Östersjö on dB (.

A Northumbrian Diary: A different night

http://northumbriandiary.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-different-night_27.html

Does Google’s Current Moon Phase gadget take account of your location? You would expect it to, since it knows who you are, and where you are. And yet, at this time in this place I should be seeing a Waxing Gibbous 95 percent of full, whereas in reality the dog and I, on our nightly outing, were only able to observe a hidden glow, with no discernible moon as such behind the clouds.

A Northumbrian Diary: December 2010

http://northumbriandiary.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Yes, as everybody knows, we are snowed in in Northumberland. It happened last winter, and at the time the local council explained away its not coping, assuring us that next time they would be better prepared for extreme weather. Well, this winter came early and is much worse than the last, but relief is less in evidence. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Programme notes / Notas de programa. View my complete profile.

A Northumbrian Diary: May 2011

http://northumbriandiary.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Drought, rain, colours, smell. There has been the longest spell without rain I can remember. Last week, for the first time the canine walks ended with the dog's paws and my wellies as dry as they had been at the start. Dry! Having trodden on grassy soil! Inconceivable, but true. Less kind readers may say that my middle-aged senses are tricking me with mirages of childhood. I contend that the weather is changing so much that some phenomena that used to occur only in southern latitudes are now taking p...

A Northumbrian Diary: September 2009

http://northumbriandiary.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Bob Johnson, Delilah and Miranda before the last-named was left on her own. Does she feel any sense of bereavement? Is loneliness an issue for a hen? I haven’t read enough to know if her species counts among the social animals who need companionship in order to survive. But this one is certainly surviving and, if it’s not too cruel towards the deceased to say so, she is thriving. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Programme notes / Notas de programa.

A Northumbrian Diary: Sun

http://northumbriandiary.blogspot.com/2013/05/sun.html

For much of the last year or so, Northumberland has looked like the land the gods wanted to destroy: ceaseless rain, thunder, floods, landslides, unseasonal cold and lashing winds; a varied arsenal of destructive forces was mercilessly discharged on us.

Agustín Fernández's programme notes: String Quartet No. 1, Montes'

http://fernandeznotes.blogspot.com/2010/02/string-quartet-no-1-montes.html

Agustín Fernández's programme notes. For the use of concert promoters and students. © Agustín Fernández. Monday, 22 February 2010. String Quartet No. 1, Montes'. String Quartet No 1, ‘Montes’. Gate of the Moon. Thus, ‘City of Silence’ evokes the hieratic starkness of the eponymous painting. ‘Gate of the Moon’ explores an idea suggested by the painting – where a silver light radiates from the centre outward – and builds on material from ‘mooncast’ from my. 169; Agustín Fernández. String Quartet No. 1.
