Baroque Dance With Me



Make it to the second part.  It's lively!  Baroque has always been my favorite period for classical music.  How can you not love the harpsichord?  Francois Couperin has wonderful music for the harpsichord (and lute!)   If you like chilling vocals check this out:

 
This is only related by title but what an amazing idea!  Social art as he calls it. 


Muma, a Spanish-born artist in Lausanne, Switzerland, transforms his town into a scintillating paradise. "Allumons Lausanne!" (French for "Let's Light Up Lausanne!") attracted over 40,000 visitors on July 31, 2006 to absorb the spectacle created by over 127,000 candles placed in intricate patterns by 1,000 volunteers. The ancient Swiss town was transformed, bringing everyone together to appreciate what Muma calls "social art." "Lessons of Darkness" will make you reconsider your thoughts on collective identity, urban space and what it really means to live in today's intensely modern society. Please visit www.allumonslausanne.ch for more information on this incredible event - and its next incarnation in Paris in 2007.
