Thanks everyone. Hope to make contact with Rakov in regard to silk
strings.
Playing from the Siena Ms. on my last pair of gut trebles this
morning- (doubled first on my "Chambure" copy vihuela) during the
gentle haze of a happy holiday hangover is a most poignant moment on
this overcast December 26th. A very special "Thank You" to DvO for his
exceptional & encyclopedic website; I navigated to this page after
viewing the one he posted-

"Mono no Aware - A Sensitivity to Things"
In and of itself, the right hangover can put one directly into an
intense state of Mono no Aware, and this page on it is a must reading
for musicians on this list. Two more candidates for sublime Mono no
Aware that I've encountered lately are "Ego flos campi" from the Song
of Songs set by Jacob Clemens non Papa (Achingly positive) and "Je
Prens Congie" by Nicolas Gombert (achingly negative, like "Mille
Regretz" but sadder)
Happy Interholiday Moments to all- Dan
