Mozert: Sinfonia Estrema per Una Nota (Betamax review)
Lft. Sir Cedric Noel Vivian Barnstable III (KCB, KCBS, KGB, CGI, DoD, WSJ), the Katzenjammer Baroquen Orchestra; North Corvina Girls' Drum and Bungee Corps; Norman Labernacle Choir; Bill Gates Singers; with the Emerson, Lake & Palmer Quartet. Odyssey Records HAL2001.Australian composer, trapdoor salesman, and origamist Myles P. Galleon Mozert (1739-1862) was another in the long line of musical prodigies produced by the Mozert family this past quarter century. Although the public probably recognizes him best as the owner of a trapdoor company and an origami shop, he turned to music when the trapdoor business fell through and the origami business folded. All the better for the musical community, then, when he wrote his Sinfonia Estrema per Una Nota in B-flat C-minor Major, here performed by Lft. Sir Cedric Noel Vivian Barnstable III and his accomplished East Corvina Boys' Drum and Bungee Corps. Mozert wrote the Sinfonia in November 1732, just […]

In the month of March, I remember the man (is this an Ode to Boy?) who mesmorizes my mind with his mastery of the music he penned, I’d like to believe, by the light of the moon. Millions around the world and through the centuries, no doubt, also love the “Sonata quasi una fantasia ” aka “Moonlight Sonata.” March 26th marks the passing of Ludwig van Beethoven in 1827 in the glorious city of Vienna, Austria. I felt moved to create a culinary quasi-masterpiece in his memory, which I have aptly named my Moonlight Frittata. My inspiration for tonight’s dinner includes traditional German and Austrian ingredients like sausage, quark, mustard, chives, and asparagus. White asparagus , in particular, is the prized form of this spring and summer vegetable. It is the same as the green variety most of us know, however the growing conditions are altered and closely monitored […]

“I always knew it helped to be both fruity and nutty if you wanted to be an oboist, but it never occurred to me to take those two elements outside of the practice room and bring them into the kitchen (another of my favorite places to spend time). I decided to put together a small series of recipes to highlight the musical union of oboes, oranges, and almonds.” The second recipe in our series about oboes, oranges, and almonds is sure to be a dinnertime hit on those weeknights when that everyday chicken could use a lilt. A spritz of fresh citrus, some herbs and spices from the pantry, an easy, nutty rice… all you need to add is a salad or a veggie side and then put on your favorite zesty oboe music! Spicy Orange-Glazed Chicken with Almond Rice Serves 4 Spice Rub: 3/4 teaspoon […]
