JUNIOR ASPIRIN PODCAST 09: THE HUMORS, in FOUR PARTS....Four reflections on medieval humorism. Like Rick Wakeman said of his "Six wives of Henry VIII" , these are not meant to be taken as literal representations of the four medieval temperaments... rather a contemporary redressing of an imbalance of humors.
Devised and selected by Patrick Gibson.Part One - Sanguine.
Laughing the loudest and
wearing the flashiest outfits, a courageous selection of tracks. Ultimately lending themselves to sketches, life drawings, and rustic scenes. The humor of Sanguine is usually treated with leeches.
PODCAST HEREPart Two - Choleric.
BILE BILE BILE a fiery YELLOW grouping.
There is nothing I love as much as a good fight. A natural superabundance of the choleric.
PODCAST HEREPart Three - Melancholic.
Semper Dowland, semper dolens.
Melancholy Dane. Indolent dreaming wistfulness.
Where is the ring I gave to Nancy Spain? PODCAST HEREPart Four - Phlegmatic.
Get up late in the morning; Dorian mode on C; Take a nap; Eat; In this case the mode is the Phrygian; Take another nap; Go to bed. Hey Mr Pharmacist!
This is one for those availed of a superb set of headphones - frequency spectrum junkies, medotists, nanologicians, monkish gong ritualists -
communicate with the insect kingdom: Phenomenon, certainly but
without the Iron Maiden.
