A special morning at First Church in Los Angeles. Christoph Bull performed an organ version of Vide Cor Meum as part of his Oscar Sunday program — a tribute to the film industry. It was particularly meaningful to hear the piece reimagined as an instrumental work for the first time, allowing the sound of the organ to carry the music in a completely new way. Thank you, Christoph, for such a beautiful performance and for your continued support. — Patrick Cassidy Follow @BullChristoph

@bymortalhand That’s not the opera house.

Scoring Godzilla: An Analysis of Akira Ifukube's Musical Narratives by Erik Homenick is now available on several sites for pre-order! While we're still waiting for the book to go "live" on McFarland's (the publisher) website, it is already popping up for pre-order on sites like Barnes and Noble and Walmart. (It has yet to be listed on Amazon, but that's not far behind.) The publication date shows February of next year. That is just a placeholder date; it's much more likely the book will be released this year. The publisher has to supply a "dummy" date in order for outlets to list the book. The official release date will be announced in due course. Fans of Akira Ifukube and Godzilla music, here's the link to pre-order on Barnes and Noble: barnesandnoble.com/w/scoring-godz…

On this day in 2022, Don Davis’ CRITICAL MASS was released. Everyone should read these program notes… open.spotify.com/track/2nCo6dAl…

@kenanmalik In any case it sounds more memorable than it would have been if the performance had gone according to plan.

So, disappointing, dramatic and a strangely appropriate ending all at the same time. And hugely brave and impressive of Hetherington to step in.

Drama at the opera tonight. During Turandot at Covent Garden, Roberto Alagna, playing Calaf, took ill and couldn’t come out for Act III. So, Richard Hetherington, ROH’s head of music, but not a trained opera singer, gamely stepped in, to sing from the side. 1/

@JWFancom It was a special night…

You know, buying music from Europe now is like trying to buy American blue jeans from Moscow in 1982

@DougAdamsMusic Finally watched today…Could listen to it forever… It’s the kind of discussion where you come out of it looking forward to the possibilities….more books in the future to be written, new audiences…and new impulses for sharing.

Thank you to everyone who joined in today. It was a great start to the weekend! I'll let you know when the video is posted.
