Music of the Baroque
Today, Saturday February 12th, we explore the music of the Baroque era. We’ll be including the work of a wide range of composers. Many will be familiar; other perhaps less so; or they may have written pieces that we know well but have no idea of who composed them — for example English composer Thomas Arne, who wrote Rule Britannia but also a range of other pieces which deserve more interest than is usually paid to them.
Then at 12 noon and 4pm Pacific / 8pm or midnight UK time, there’s another chance to hear the latest episode of “Where Have You Been?”, our twice-monthly show on places to visit and things to do around the Second Life Grid. Series 2 Episode 3 features two museums that offer similar, and contrasting content for residents to enjoy. The show airs at 12 noon and 4pm Pacific/SLT, that’s 8pm and midnight in the UK. It’ll run on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the same times. Details are here.
And every four hours from 4am Pacific/noon in the UK, tune in for “The Engines of Our Ingenuity”, from the University of Houston, about the machines that make our civilization run and the people whose ingenuity created them.

MOON OVER MOROCCO
Once in a far away land there existed a knowledge of natural magic that has been lost to modern man.

Jack discovers far more than he expected when he steps through the Gate of Peacocks, the entrance to that lost world. Jack has stepped out of modern day Morocco and into the realm where the knowledge of magic is a requisite survival skill. Here’s a couple of tastes of this week’s episode…

Tarot @ Teatime Episode 25: Cards that Look Scary
Beginning February 3rd, we’re pleased to re-broadcast a live presentation from October 2021 by the hosts of our original series: “Tarot @ Teatime” airing Thursdays and Sundays at noon and 4pm Pacific Time/SLT, 8pm and midnight in the UK. This programme was originally presented live and on-the-air in October as part of The 2021 Haunted Hollow. This episode will also air on February 6th, 10th, and 13th.
Episode 25: Cards that look scary
Some cards in the Tarot have images that are potentially off putting, scary, or creepy. We’ll consider why these cards may evoke a negative response for some people, how to see them in a different light, and how they can be interpreted in a Tarot reading.
Would live tarot readings add a something unique to your in-world event or venue? Inquire to H0neyHeart Resident by notecard in-world, or email tarot@vcradio.org.

Celtic Music for Imbolc
Welcome to a Celtic Music (and more!) Festival featuring (among many other things) music from around the Celtic Lands, alongside music inspired by or expressing Celtic themes, in celebration of Imbolc.
Today you’ll hear a wide variety of Celtic and Celtic-influenced material, with orchestral works like Shaun Davey’s Brendan Voyage; a wide range of performances by traditional Celtic artists; and music inspired by the Celtic heritage. There are also some large-scale performances from artists like Celtic Woman, Celtic Thunder and even the Cincinnati Pops! And listen out for some of the Celtic/Goddess themed pieces from Nashville-based artist Laura Powers’ Legends of the Goddess trilogy, along with Rutland Boughton’s seldom-heard classic, first performed in Glastonbury between the wars, The Immortal Hour.
Then tune in at 12 noon or 4pm Pacific Time/SLT, 8pm or midnight in the UK, for another chance to hear the latest episode of our original series, “Where Have You Been?”, where we visit The Janus Galleries. And catch “Engines of Our Ingenuity” from the University of Houston every four hours from 4am Pacific.
