Dedicated to my best and oldest friend, Stephanie, who was a nun for a time. I ordered Francois Couperin's Music for two Masses, and while waiting for it, got it out of the library. It had to be an interlibrary loan from Idaho. I was playing through some of it for fun today, and thought perhaps it was nice enough to take a video of it just as it was. This is the third piece from the end, from the second Mass. April 6, 2009, between 3 and 4 pm.

Your video, your terms. Dress how you want and the rest can go pound sand if they don't like it. Thank you for wearing pants though, LOL.

[Lifecomesfromwithin]

@obxemt Indeed. Thank you. ;p Lol.

Pour le Convents? Isn't it "Couvents", "messe propre pour les couvents"?

One piece of advice: Put your shirt on bevor filming yourself.

[Lifecomesfromwithin]

@eltfell I don't know. I don't know French. I've seen it spelled both ways. It's spelled the way I wrote it in the music book; in the reproduction of the original title page.  Why should I put my shirt on? Because I'm fat or because it's considered obscene by you?

[eltfell]

@Lifecomesfromwithin No, it's just... well... you are giving kind of a concert, and I think, that to be barechested doesn't meet the dress code for that occasion.

[Lifecomesfromwithin]

@eltfell Oh! ;p I see. Well,... My purpose was to capture the moment as it already was, and that is how it was, though you do have a point, as it is also what you said, but if it were in Tahiti and I were a native, I might fit the dress code there. It felt like that anyway, to me. It just was what it was. ;p

[Lifecomesfromwithin]

Oh! Thank you!!!! How nice of you!

Nice harmonium, nice environment and nice playing

[Lifecomesfromwithin]

Thank you. Your comment made me think of the user here, 'harmoniumenperil'. And well, reeds are very french anyway. :) I probably will play more - I'm getting into French music and French things in general more and more. I'm playing a menuetto by Loeillet these days.

Thanks for this part of the mass. These two masses are as good as it gets. Hope you will play more. I am sure they have been played many times in France on harmoniums.
