toilet Handels & baroque

Judith Beheading Holofernes by Italian baroque painter Caravaggio






Italian Baroque-inspired fashion



I'm going to see Treasures of the Italian Baroque tonight at the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra with Mr. H. There will be Vivaldi! and Torelli! and Veracini! Oh My! I'm actually not familiar with the latter 2 composers at all, so it will be a fun new experience.
I'll be sure and share my review and pics, but you really should check it out yourself- especially if you're in your 20s or 30s and can get those great $10 tickets. Click here to check it out.


But on a less sophisticated note, I simply had to post a link to this gloriously hilarious news item I came across yesterday. An 80 year old man gets trapped in a toilet and uses Handel's Hallelujah Chorus to draw attention and help!!

Hope you all have a shimmering, snowy weekend! Next week I'll post a Russian-inspired December playlist!
