Deer Track, December 27, 2020 (mp3) (pdf)

Here's a nice waltz from last November, along with another Deer Track composition from late December 2020. I've got something of a backlog of tunes from the last few months and I'm just being slow about bringing them to the blog.

I like the accidental light I unwittingly captured in the photo above, also from last November.

Spring is almost, but not quite, here, although we did hit 90 degrees for a few hours last Sunday.

Telemann: Menuets for Two Mandolins (1728)

 

Recording currently available for streaming or purchase only at Bandcamp

No new original music this time but yesterday, on May Day, I released my recording of 19 Menuets from G.P. Telemann's 1728 collection of 50 pieces. These were self-published by Telemann on a subscription basis. Customers signed up and received groups of seven new menuets (plus one extra, presumably at the end) throughout the year.

I have played these pieces for years and I have intended to record some of them for a long time. I picked my favorites, although next week I might choose some different ones. It was hard to settle but I didn't want to present too many at once. This group comes out to about a half hour so I'm happy with that length.

Head over to Bandcamp and give them a listen if you are interested.
