On Baroque 
Hello. I am writing because I’d like to know more about a painting you posted on your blog about Rosa Giacinta Badalla. It portrays 3 nuns playing music, which is quite rare in nun iconography. Can you tell me more about the painting?
Thanks in advance.
Candace Smith (dir. of Cappella Artemisia)
It’s called The Convent Choir, by Jehan Georges Vibert, a French painter who was active in the late-1800s. Thanks for your question.
Hello, Nabob! I found your site looking about for information on Biber. Any idea where the Rough Guide writer discovered that “Biber was fascinated by the doctrine of the affections”?
I don’t know the answer to that but I would try “Heinrich Biber and the 17th Century Violin” by Elias Dann or the book on Biber and Schmeltzer by Charles Brewer.
