Holiday Music
My colleague, Mark Movsesian, has an amusing post about a concert planned for the "holiday season." Careful and excellent scholars like Daniel Dreisbach, Vincent Phillip Muñoz, and Donald Drakeman have persuaded me that, in addition to his other discretions, Jefferson was rather cagey and nuanced about the quality of his beliefs in the separation of church and state. At the very least, I don't recall any of his writing on this score involving the righteousness of marital infidelity, so the binding theme of the concert is not clear to me. I suppose those who attend should not expect to hear any masses, and few oratorios, chorales, and cantatas as well.
