I had fallen a couple of days behind in my listening of this book, and listened to yesterday‘s piece today

That felt a little serendipitous. I saw Moonrise Kingdom directed by Wes Anderson yesterday. Benjamin Britten is mentioned several times and when the music is shown at the end, several of his pieces had been used. Life works in mysterious ways sometimes

Librarybelle I loved how this happened sometimes during the year I did this—how I‘d listen to a piece and then hear more about it within a week of listening to it. So many wonderful connections to the pieces she discusses! 2d

I can honestly say this is the first string quartet with didgeridoo I‘ve ever heard. And the first Sculthorpe. Not really good for “background music at work” today, what with the barking and all. 😀

This novel about a black musician who loved music more than anything other than his sweet grandmother Nora. As a black boy without any means to buy a good instrument. The story took Ray around the world as he played for audiences. The violin was stolen, then a huge investigation took place. The end was a bit predictable but I enjoyed it. 4.25/5

I loved this one. The way the author talks about music made me feel like I was there playing with the main character, a violinist. I did feel like some bits were unrealistic, specifically the ease of crowdsourcing funds, but it wasn‘t enough to deter my enjoyment of the book. Look forward to reading his next book!

Here‘s a little blep face from Sietje.

Today‘s piece from Year of Wonder was both mesmerizing & haunting.

Loanne The Year of Wonder is such a lovely book. My husband and I did the whole year one day at a time. We would read the daily selection while our coffee was brewing and then listen to the music with coffee in hand. Very pleasant. Learned a lot particularly about women composers and those who were persecuted. Didn‘t love every piece of music but found many more to add to my classical playlist. A+ 3mo

Loved the Kyrie this morning! Although I can‘t say the same for Ockeghem‘s hat. 😂 @AnnCecilie @kspenmoll

quietlycuriouskate I listened to the whole album the track came from. I do NOT want the whole outfit that hat belongs with! 3mo

This wasn‘t just a mystery about a violin 🎻 heist it was a thoughtful exploration of the life of a talented young musician who has to overcome prejudice and poverty. I‘m not a classical music fan but this author has such beautiful descriptions of the violinist‘s feelings while playing. A great choice for Black History Month

lynneamch Loved it! Maybe this one even more 3mo
