Day 19: What a pleasure to hear Marnie and Joachim today in Stratford! They played so well, as always -- a light, sparkly lunchtime program. (I heard the car horn but not the dog barking in the Hakim.) They haven't aged a day, and looked great in their matching purple-themed outfits. Tomorrow it will be red-and-white, for Kobie Kloppers' "Musical Memoirs of A Canadian Organist" among other Canadian works.
Go if you can! You will really enjoy Duo Majoya. Let's see: Ma = Marnie, Jo = Joachim, and then there's Ya. Hmmmm...for fun, I guess, because then you have the word "joy" -- !

We went out for lunch afterwards with Paul Chappel and his dad. So nice to feel part of the organ biz again. Marnie thinks I need some lighter works to go along with all the big heavy pieces listed on this blog. She suggested one of the Bach concertos. Would be fun! Especially the entire G major, which I remember Chris New playing faster than humanly possible years ago in Edmonton. It was exciting! Like going down a steep hill with no brakes! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Stopped by the church on the way home and learned another line of Bach, but I was THINKING "Ragtime," you can bet.
