This ecclesiastical building was built in 1726 and has served the ever-changing city of London in many ways. Some of the girls and I had an assignment to attend a musical performance featuring the work of a major Renaissance or Baroque composer. We decided to attend Vivaldi, Four Seasons that was at St. Martin-in-the-Fields (Trafalgar Square, London). I thoroughly enjoyed the pure, beautiful sound of the classical instrumental music. It is very soothing to the soul and I can imagine that music in heaven will sound very similar to it. During intermission we went down to the performance area and walked around. The piano that was used in the performance looked very odd to me. The key’s colors were opposite from every piano I had ever seen. The girls explained that it was an original Baroque piano and they only used it in special performances of Baroque music. Besides the struggle to stay awake through the two hour performance, it was pretty neat.
