Music of the Baroque










Wednesday April 12th, and today we’re featuring music of the Baroque era, with a particularly extensive collection of music by J S Bach.
Plus it’s your last chance to hear the current episode of “Where Have You Been?”, where we report on interesting things to see and do across the Second Life Grid, at noon and 4pm Pacific/SLT, where we visit Armstrong Park in a virtual New Orleans; and don’t miss “Engines of Our Ingenuity” from the University of Houston, every four hours from 4am Pacific.
Woodwinds


Today’s programme features members of the woodwind family — oboe, clarinet, flute, bassoon, recorder and more, including the gamut of Early Music woodwinds like the shawn (the predecessor of the oboe), curtal (a proto-bassoon) and crumhorn.
Of course, the majority of orchestral music includes a woodwind section, so the criterion for inclusion in today’s show was that a member of the woodwind family is the lead instrument — a “wind band” is not sufficient (and they’re generally usually brass-heavy anyway), but a concerto for bassoon (yes there is at least one) counts.
