Today’s Rhapsody Comes to us from Composer and violist Rebecca Clarke (no specific title given) for Piano and Cello. It has a nice haunting quality to it that I quite like.

Today’s Sketch is from the Seattle art Museum’s Renaissance collection. It’s a Crucifixion by Lorenzo Monaco with the Virgin and St John watching. It was done in Egg Tempera in 1408.

I’ve been a fan of the fantasy adventure Journey to the West for a very long time. I remember several children’s books about the adventures of Monkey fondly. And when I became aware of the entire story as well as the original material (I recomend the Anthony Yu translation) I liked it even better.
On a side note I’m very fond of Stephen Chow movies and consider him the master of Wu Xia comedy.
So when I heard that his version of Journey to the West is coming out in China this year I was very optimistic.

For today’s Rhapsody we return to Gershwin‘s Rhapsody in Blue… Or the Glenn Miller version anyway.
