KIM IS DONE WITH ALL ASSIGNMENTS AND EXAMS FOR THE SEMESTER OHMYGOD. *collapses*

I discovered this week that yes, I can do an entire semester of Music Appreciation in one week. I don't, however, recommend this. (Also? Really digging the Gregorian Chants of the middle ages. Pretty sure those are my favorites. Go figure.)

If I've figured everything right, I should end up with two A's and two B's for the semester. I can live with that :)

And now I can kick back and relax and do everything I've neglected this week, while feverishly working on my Music course. Meep.

Also, my new a/c compressor has been installed, charged, is working...just in time for the temp to drop 20 degrees. o_O

As a music teacher, I'm professionally sorry to hear that you crammed all of music appreciation into one week, but personally, happy to hear that it worked! :)

if you like Gregorian chant, I have to URGE YOU VERY STRONGLY to seek out the music of Hildegard of Bingen.

She lived almost 1000 years ago and was completely amazing. Here's from wikipedia : "Blessed Hildegard of Bingen (1098 – 17 September 1179) was a writer, composer, philosopher, Christian mystic, German Benedictine abbess, visionary, and polymath.
She founded two monasteries, wrote theological, botanical and medicinal texts, as well as letters, liturgical songs, poems, and arguably the oldest surviving morality play, while supervising brilliant miniature Illuminations."

here is one good youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yXJ0MDTI4Q&feature=related

One of my personal favorites, though it is a little weird as you might guess, is Lux Vivens (Living Light): The Music Of Hildegard Von Bingen, by Jocelyn Montgomery and David Lynch, Yes the actual David Lynch of Twin Peaks, Dune, Blue Velvet fame. :D If you're interested I could send you a copy?

Oh, and thanks very much for the Mother's Day vgift -- you are an awesome mother!

:D

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee GO YOU! *\o/*

Woohoooyouuuuuuu! So crazy, but somehow you make it work. Nice going!

Also, fannishliss beat me to the Hildegard rec. Only because the only H name I could think of for a minute was Hermione--no, that can't be right!

Yay! Congrats on finishing and on the grades! :)

I also really love Gregorian chants—they're so timeless and beautiful.

W00t, Gregorian chant! Man, it's been a while since I studied that. Did you guys learn to read chant notation? BTW, I second the rec someone made for Hildegard von Bingen, if you aren't acquainted with her already.

Congrats on being done for the semester! WE CAN ALL SLEEP AGAIN.
