And at 12 noon and 4pm Pacific/Second Life Time, tune in for the latest episode of our original series on things to do and places to visit around the Second Life Grid — “Where Have You Been?” This time we pay a visit to The Elven Forest and have a discussion on Roleplay.

Join us today for a programme of French classical music from a wide variety of composers, primarily from the 18th and 19th centuries, including a nice collection of the works of Erik Satie that goes well beyond the Gymnopédies. Most of the composers today are pretty well-known, but keep your ears open for things like the Eurovision theme — actually Extrait du Te Deum by Charpentier — and other goodies. There is some gorgeous music in today’s programme and we do hope you enjoy it.
Today’s programme — Wednesday April 20th — focuses on brass instruments, with genres that range from Early Music to contemporary pieces.
Thus the genres range from ancient and early music, through Baroque and classical, to Victorian brass bands, to ragtime, trad jazz, a touch of big band, right up to modern works including a marvellous suite of pieces for wind band inspired by the works of Shakespeare.
This will all lead to some remarkable juxtapositions — and a few surprises.

Today’s Featured Music is “Modern Classical Music” — but what does that mean, exactly?
Well, in the context of today’s programme, we’re talking about pieces of music written between around the mid-20th Century until the present day, that aren’t exactly “pop music” (though they may tip a hat to it from time to time).
This is a tricky definition, however. Mike Batt (some of whose work is in the playlist for today: there’s a lot more to his compositions than the Wombles! ) has remarked that there is no such distinction as “popular music” and “serious music” — there’s simply “popular” and “unpopular”, so the definition rather falls at the first fence.
