Orlando Gibbons Fantasy in C

[LeMarxNouveau]

I'm against Glen Gould: Gibons's music is not piano music. Gibons, Scarlatti, or Rameau had not composed for piano!

@LeMarxNouveau I used to think in that vein as well. However I came to realize that there is room for all in this world. There is nothing wrong with Gould or anyone else playing this music on the piano. Gould's instrument was the piano, a keyboard instrument. Gould loved this music.

at 2:23 there is a graphic of some skeletal critters. These are radiolarians. You can find this exzct picture in most Geology 101, Sedimentary and Stratigraphy text books. They are the commonest of the trace fossils; in this case for radiolarins.

lovely, and i really like the choice of images. are those diatoms I see? and is that the cross section of a dicot?

I know the images are radiolaria and were drawn by the German naturalist Ernst Haeckel, but I don't know what particular radiolaria. Search Haeckel on line and you will find many beautiful images. Thanks. mc

I found Haeckel's "tree" and he's right there by the top!
