Proof I'm a real classical musician: I correctly guessed "Hoe-Down" from Copland's Rodeo from bf's description: "cattle lasso-ing music."

Birthday cake for Casey! Devils food cake with coffee German buttercream and homemade sprinkles. All recipes via @bravetart. A delicious cake for my favorite person ❤️ instagram.com/p/CdCaAtfsUbK/…

if there is one thing @SopranoJane & i could impart to high school & college-aged music students now, it would be: if you think a song is JUST about a bird, a flower, or a tree?

Also, cuts are good. Cut at will. An uncut Handel opera, Cosí, or (god forbid) Nozze? I’d rather die. Cut freely! Please!!
we’re cancelling each other over opera takes today. post your cancellable opera take.

If you’re writing a new opera, please remember that the characters should want things, make choices, and do stuff, and all of that should happen ON STAGE. IN FRONT OF THE AUDIENCE. And yes, it does need to be said, trust me.

Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance & library cards, to absinthe & good-hearted landlords, to music & warm bodies & contraceptives... and to the "good life", whatever it is and wherever it happens to be.
