String Beings

Yesterday at church, we had guest musicians, a wonderful string quartet--2 violins, a viola, and a cello.  Sis and Bud were enthralled, as new string musicians themselves.  The quartet played lovely selections--Debussy's "Claire de Lune" and "Girl with the Flaxen Hair," Eric Satie's "Gymnopedie," and Pergolesi's "Magnificat."  I didn't know any of the pieces, though I've heard of Debussy--my classical music knowledge is limited to the only the most famous pieces and composers (usually symphonies or operas.)  But I have a feeling that will change as they grow as musicians and as we take them to more concerts. The kids were too shy to talk to the musicians, but they loved watching them bowing and fingering and even plucking.
