List, For those of you interested in HT's, I just thought I'd post something that, to me, is unbelievable. Starting this Saturday, this festival goes for abut a week and is primarily being done by the Houston Symphony. Composers such as Vivaldi, Bach, Handel, Purcell, Telemann and Corelli all have works being performed. What I find hard to understand is that all the concerts with the Symphony people are performed in ET and at A-442, their standard pitch. This means that for a triple concerto they're doing, I'm going to have to raise ours to stabilize it so that the symphony tuner won't have to fight that when he's tuning the 3 together. :-( I know some might just say, so.....? But I can't believe they're doing a Baroque Festival this way. Oh well, at least _I_ don't have to tune for any of it except one. And that one is at least at A-440 with one of our faculty members. Just thought some might find this "curious". :-) Avery P.S. If anyone is interested in a listing of all the works, let me know and I'll post it privately. ______________________________________ mailto:atodd@uh.edu - Work mailto:avery@ev1.net - Home Avery Todd, RPT Moores School of Music University of Houston 713-743-3226 Houston, TX 77204-4201
