Just had breakfast listening to a duet between Hildegard of Bingen (Medieval plain chant, on Radio 3) and a blackbird (in our garden, through the open door). Bliss. I recommending starting every day like that if you have cooperative local wildlife.

How lovely!

But She's A Girl

@vanessa It was! A lovely chance conjunction.

Jeremy Cherfas

@vanessa I take it you have both seen that famous duet between a cellist and a nightingale?

Vanessa Hamshere

@jeremycherfas Nope, will have to look it up now!

But She's A Girl

@jeremycherfas I have, it’s wonderful. I was also booked to go on a Singing with Nightingales night featuring Sam Lee this weekend but of course it is cancelled.

Jeremy Cherfas

That sounds perfectly wonderful, fully intended.

But She's A Girl

@jeremycherfas Actually, there is the first of a series of broadcasts they are doing instead, starting tonight. This one is open to everyone, and they have some just for former ticket holders starting next week.

I can hear that duet in my head. My wife and I perform professionally with a vocal ensemble and our concerts almost always include a Hildegard selection or two.

But She's A Girl

@gpittman That must be lovely!
