I love classical, especially the Baroque and Late-Romantic periods. Of Baroque I'm mainly into solo keyboard and guitar: Weiss, Losy, Visee, Bach, Handel, Sanz, Scarlatti. Here's a performance of a wonderful work by one one the lesser known Baroque composers, Jan Antonin Losy, of which, to my knowledge, there is not yet a commercial recording of.

well you can have a look around whilst youre here ,pretty sure we can do baroque, and I am not american - Just English living in Northern Ireland - I think we do a fair bit of moral philosophy here .

Thank you for your kind responses. I shall certainly stay with you and hope to join in some interesting discussions. In answer to a few questions/remarks, I am 74, and a practising atheist. I come from a long line of atheists/freethinkers. I need to spend some time getting to know this site and finding out what has already been discussed so I shall come back soon and maybe put out a few feelers for discussion.

Hopefully you don't believe in religion as well. That's one really good reason to be here. If only we could have some background Vivaldi playing, it would be perfect here. Yes, the site is more American in membership than other, but the diversity of membership is growing.

Welcome... Try us... May be you will be surprised.

Not young, but thanks for saying so . I enjoy Baroque Music, though am far from being one of the cognicenti. I'm Australian but have argued with people from most of the former British Empire on this site. I've only met one real arsehole and he was a Christian trying troll the atheists. My experience here has been that people usually argue politely and in good faith.

I don't have a particular love for baroque music, but I do enjoy classical and particularly opera. It's thrilling live and I go to every one I can in my area. So far I've seen: Madame Butterfly, Fidelio, Die Fledermaus, The Magic Flute, The Marriage of Figaro, and Carmen.

I suspect that the reason this site has so many Americans is that it's easier to avoid vocal Christians in other (English-Speaking) parts of the world - especially Europe.

I would love for you to explain the connection between moral philosophy and baroque music.

Well, I dabble In and enjoy baroque music. I was a church pipe organist and minister of music who eventually ate the apple from the tree of knowledge and discovered the all too many parallell deity myths throughout history. The cover was blown for me after 12
Years of parochial school. I’m new here too. I’ll give this site some time. There really is nobody with similar views to talk to in my circle of friends other than 1
Other lawyer who flies below the radar for
Political reasons.

Stay. We like you already

I'll take that "a bit young and a bit American" as a compliment.

it is very american and therefore can raise the eyebrows but there are some smart members around . I was wondering why there is no music or travelling sections to this but still there are some interesting reads through the babble

Stay, at least for a while. See if it is stimulating enough. Other Brits have joined, and people from a number of different countries belong as well. Welcome. Oh, by the way, I am a grandfather.

Please give us a chance, after all, many Americans are from European descent. As far as age, I should be considered a fossil. It all depends on what you feel comfortable with.

Welcome! There are humans from all over and from what I have seen, a lot of ages are represented. The community is wonderful!

I just got here myself, so I'd say stay a bit and see who's who and what's what

Define moral philosophy. Specifically Kant, or ethics in general?

Post a query and you will definitley get opinions.

There are a few subjects of the crown lolling about and the ages are pretty scattered along the time line. I was alive for the British Invasion (NOT the War of 1812), but prefer Elvis Costello and Sex Pistols.

well obviously its your choice but it is a very good place for some interesting chat irrelevent of the peoples orrigan. im from the UK myself. give it a bit of a look around and see how you feel is my advice.

We are not all as experienced and wise as you, But there may be a few here worth your time.

There are plenty of oldies on here. But it's not a music site!

Well, I'm a Yank, but not at all young anymore, except at heart, hopefully! Moral philosophy is important to many of us, so you fit right in there. We also have a few groups dedicated to music, tho not specifically your genre. That's cool, tho, turn folks on to what you love & they will reciprocate & we will all be broadened! Welcome & good luck!

I'm 55 years young

Welcome . You can't help it if you are young ! Why would you want to go elswhere ? You may well be in the minority of liking baroque music ....I love opera . Enjoy yourself here .

Try us on for size... I think you'll find a diverse community of interesting people...
