How my weekend looks like :) preparing for the exams in June! @unibe.ch #christkatholisch #theology #theologiestudium #hebraicum #altesprachen
"Mio amore" is actually "Amore mio" (I guess they were thinking of Spanish "mi amor"...)
"Por favore" is actually "PER favore" in Italian...
Why has nobody noticed they mix Spanish and Italian in this "Espresso Macchiato" song? 😅 It is a bit weird.
(NB: mac-CHIA-to is three syllables...)
I loved writing this adagio in a difficult moment of life, as a ray of hope. Now I finally hear it as I imagined it 💜 thank you! With Sonoko Asabuki and Aliza Vicente (violins), Carolina Egüez (Gamba), Aki Noda (Organ) and Mirko Arnone (tiorba) 🙏🏻 Valer Sabadus Oren Kirschenbaum
"My soul hoped in the Lord" from Psalm 130 "De profundis". I composed the aria specifically for Valer 🙏🏻 Looking forward to the whole video of the Psalm, directed by the great Oren Kirschenbaum ---
The part of my brain that rage at injustice stirs like a slumbering dragon when I read the words “Native English”. I find "native" to be a rather inadequate, if lazy, choice as an attribute meant to describe linguistic proficiency.
Here's my full take: passo.uno/native-engli...
Legendary!

Me encanta la radio! Esta mañana estuve en directo en @radio3.es leyendo noticias y hablando de cómo leer en voz alta - nos lo hemos pasado pipa con el equipo de @hetradio3.bsky.social 💜 #radio #radio3 #rtve #hoyempiezatodo
A las 9:15 en directo con @hetradio3.bsky.social en @radio3.es - es el día de la lectura en voz alta 🥰
LOL
Love it 🙏🏻
Donny Hathaway's singing is just otherworldly. Magnificient.
To be a university lecturer and at the same time a university student is so interesting, as well as very challenging :-) Learning a lot about two worlds colliding/merging...
A teacher showing enthusiasm and joy for sharing his/her contents will inevitably result in students feeling more inclined to study and get prepared. A teacher, no matter how knowledgeable, who is aseptic and monotonous (eg. using the same tone and face for 2 hours), will not stimulate the students.
Excited to do the last corrections to my oratorio about Mary, with an approach that is 95% taken from the New Testament, from Annunciation to Dormition, going through Christmas, Cana, Passion, Pentecostes... Premiere is on 6th Sept in Basel with amazing singers and continuo. Looking forward!
Delishhhh
Metastasio's Demetrio would make an amazing Netflix Series. Just saying. Ok, any of his librettos.
