The BBC classical music station
is having a monthly celebration
Of music by women and this week
they are featuring beauty at a peak
In the work of Barbara Strozzi
A Venetian singer/composer at about the time of Monteverdi
and the second great composer of Opera, Cavalli.
(Italian names often rhyme by themselves!)
Monteverdi was a friend of her father
(Barbara was his illegitimate but adopted child )
and Cavalli probably one of her teachers.
She had a very beautiful voice which she used to sing her
own music as well as that by other composers.

BBC
vs. AC/DC
If one compares and contrasts that
with other musical news this week--
that the lead singer of the rock band AC/DC
has been advised to stop singing by his doctors
because he risks total deafness if he continues--
one can only wonder why current popular musical taste
prefers dangerously loud noise to harmony.
