Here is something for Ed - remarkable for being from 1952, and one soon
adjusts to the use of vibrato by the singers:

Criminal that it has less
than 260 views in over two months, while the latest pop schlock get
hundreds of thousands of views in the same time-frame.

The reason it has so few views is because it is antique music. Bach more
and
more recedes into the mists of history. Soon it will be played only in
museums devoted to antiquities.[...]

Nonsense. Everyone loves J.S. Bach except cretins and those with
undeveloped or improperly developed minds.

I fear even the standard repertoire of every orchestra in the land is
becoming increasingly irrelevant. Ever notice how the audience seems to be
made up of exclusively older folks like myself. Where are the young people?

They either have not been exposed to good music, or have been
indoctrinated by our anti-intellectual culture to hate anything but
lowest common denominator schlock.

How could any person with developed intellect not love this, especially
the concluding Alleluia fugue for soprano and trumpet?

And now for something completely different: A slow-motion video of a
young lady [1] frolicking:

[1] Presumably, since cats with calico coats are almost invariably female.

Yes, a very cute video. Man domesticated the cat so he could pet the tiger.

Man domesticating the cat is a myth. Rather, the cat domesticated man.
