[F_MINOR] GG: Problems for the foundation + Re: [F_MINOR] OT: Speaking of Facade...

[Jorgen Lundmark <jorgen.lundmark@SUNDSVALL.NU>]

Heello Anne and the rest,

This might not be the right time to give you less than happy news.
Then again, when is there such a time...

I've just received news that the GG Foundation has funding problems.
Apart from the prize, which has different sources of money, all
activities will have to cost less money -- or they will have find new
and RICH sponsors.
This new situation will probably effect the magazine, "GlenGould".
There is talk of changing the publication somehow, but I don't know any
specifics.

"Facade" is a great work, with many more arresting movements than the
one Gould took part in.
The author to the very interesting poems is Edith Sitwell.
I know of two excellent recordings: Pamela Hunter on Discover (not
available anymore) and a Hyperion rec. (CDA67239)

The "Gould movement" is called "Scotch Rhapsody" (hence his dialect).

My favourite qoute from "Facade" (from "Popular Song): "Lily
O'Grady/Silly and shady/Longing to be/A lazy lady"

Regards,
Jorgen
