Plucked from Johann Jakob Walther’s rogue Baroque garden—Hortulus Chelicus—in full bloom with capriccios that chirp, dazzle, and sparkle. Plus he tossed in the occasional birdcall, just because he could. Settin’ those strings on fire since 1688. #ClassicalMusic youtu.be/cgD3n3lMduE?...

Every day has its own tides—rushes and lulls, bright bursts and quiet pullbacks. Soft nightfall was a while ago. Tea’s cold, writing and reading done. House is tucked in, and I’ll be falling asleep to the hush between waves. Stillness has its rhythms too. #goodnight #ClassicalMusic
