Another CROSS Adventure

This evening Tiffy and I went to a vegan restaurant for dinner and then to a Baroque music concert a block away, mostly Bach but one violin concerto by Tartini.  The concert was at this venue:

Thanks to the anonymous young artist who created this incredibly detailed and accurate drawing of the interior of Trinity Lutheran Church on the back of a collection envelope.  Now imagine that instead of a minister, there are a bunch of string instruments in front of the altar.  That is what Citizens for the Return Of Sanity to Sound (CROSS) saw, and what did CROSS hear?  Sounds as divine as the setting!  No equal temperament to be found at this concert.  F minor, D minor, and E minor all had different colors, and G major in the Brandenberg Concerto #3 never sounded so bright and cheery.  What a fantastic concert!  CROSS and the other attendees (including some white guy with impressive dreadlocks sitting right behind us) gave the performers a standing ovation.  So remember:  when you want to hear Baroque music, be sure to request it equal temperament-free.  Both you and the music deserve better.
