2016 St. Paul Winter Carnival Orchid Show
Winter Carnival Orchids
Always exciting to attend an orchid show in the dead of a Minnesota winter. More cymbidiums and vandas than I have seen in the past. This is all about eye candy.

Merula for gardening
Baroque music from Tarquinio Merula, music for gardening.
.  |
| Tarquinio Merula Baroque music, variations around a base melodic line. None better to demonstrate the beauty of ostinato than Merula’s work, excellent to play while gardening. Play the music and notice the rhythms of life in the garden, themes and variation. Many of these works are available for listening on You Tube.
Ciaconna for two violins and basso continuo
Ruggiero
La Lusignuola
Hor ch'รจ tempo di dormire
