When you msg'ed me and asked "who composed this" it was an easy guess - Vivaldi. Why? Because all his compositions sound the same. He is so boring! Edited March 25 by Keith_W 6

Looking into the photo, it takes a bit of time/effort to imagine the world 300 years ago, when music, its meaning, and its appreciation, were in such a pure form. No power cables, no WIFI, no multiple ethernet switches, no knowledge of sub placement (and people were completely ignorant about DSP), in fact the only wiring was maybe a lightning conductor, and yet they had the most perfect sound. No roar of a leaf-blower or rumble from the backhoe digging the latest grave outside; I imagine the only 'noise floor' would be the gasping and occasional yelp from the children down below, pumping the organ bellows. Quite a different take on "piped music" compared with today's supermarkets, etc! Expand A YouTube video (Gloria) takes me to what was 300 years ago. While viewing the performance I can imagine the most perfect (quadraphonic) sound for the congregation below • Part 2 (Vivaldi’s Women) is fascinating. https://www.operaonvideo.com/vivaldi-gloria-and-vivaldis-women-bbc-documentary-venice-2005/
