About us
Orest's pages consist primarily of book reviews, but he also provides a few unpublished articles and some syllabi, plus tributes to late friends. In addition, visiting historians have agreed to have papers hosted on our site. Orest's half of the site is called: "Orest Ranum's Panat Times"
Patricia's pages consist primarily of "Musings" on musicological subjects, principally about composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643-1704), but also about word-music relations in French vernacular and Latin song. Patricia's half of the site is called: "Patricia Ranum's Musicological Musings"
Working exclusively on French
Baroque music, I wear two hats, so to speak: When I don the other hat, I become the "Word Lady," who takes great pleasure in coaching singers in the intricacies of French musical rhetoric (and who has laid those secrets out in her The Harmonic Orator, available through Pendragon Press, http://www.pendragonpress.com
Starting in mid-2010, Portraits will be available by clicking this link to Pendragon Press; it can also be purchased at Amazon.com: simply click the box below to go to the Amazon.com page. And it is available at http://www.ranum.com/pmr
