Students,
Here are a few reminders about this Face to Face NWACC Music Appreciation class.
* Class starts promptly on time. If you arrive late, a video may be in progress with lights dimmed so watch your step.
* The restrooms are downstairs. Use the restroom before class; please do not leave the room after class has started. Again: Do not leave class once class has started.
* Remember to put your cell phones away (not aside) when class begins.
* It’s OK to get up and stand at the back of the class if you start to doze.
* Some days you will use laptops & pads; those days are posted on the schedule at MilesFish.com. Other days you do not need to bring or open your devices.
* Once class starts, keep a clean desk. Put everything away (books, notebooks, etc). I request that students listen and refrain from taking notes. Everything you will be tested on is printed at the course outline at MilesFish.com or on Canvas. (If you feel you must take notes, see me after class and we’ll talk about it. If taking notes is best for you, we will make that exception)
* In class, sit in the first three rows; keep one seat between you and your classmates.

DISCOVERING THE REDISCOVERY OF ANTONIO VIVALDI
by Miles Fish
THE CHORAL JOURNAL (May, 2015)
Fish's article documents the discovery of approximately 800 Vivaldi manuscripts in a monastery near Turin, Italy in the late 1920s and sheds light on the obstacles that prevented Vivaldi’s music from being heard until the mid-1950s. The article includes many of his personal photographs of Vivaldi handwritten manuscripts from the Italian National Library in Turin as well as his historical document photos from Siena, Italy, and Dresden, Germany.
