At the Museum for Modern Kunst on the Nacht der Museen. We had bought a family ticket which I decided to rentabilize a bit. The MMK is an amazing building. Quite frankly, I wouldn't go there for the works on display (maybe that's a philistine statement; I stand by it), but the place is definitely worth the sight. I also took the opportunity to go see the Foto Forum Frankfurt's exhibition of Graciela Iturbide's work (www.fffrankfurt.org/aktuell/prd.201.graciela-iturbide/). If you have an opportunity to get there, do not miss it! By the way, they show Ted Forbe's interview of her, which has been available online for quite a while now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oZxDrw61eI

Ysayas cecinit,
Synagoge meminit:
Jesse radix exeret
Virgam; virga profereta
Florem; flos amigdala
Synagoga scandala.
Aridula
Virgincula
Vivifice florificat,
Fructificat.
Ecce ministerium:
Virgo verbo peperit
Verum Dei Filium.

Isaiah sang,
and the Synagogue remembered.
The root of Jesse brings forth
branch; the branch offers a flower;
the flower an almond
and a stumbling-block to the Synagogue.
The barren maiden
coming to life flowers
and bears fruit.
Behold the gift:
by a word, the virgin gives birth
to the true Son of God.

Christmas hymn, Anonymous from France in the 12th-century. I came across that one over the magnificent Hilliard Ensemble recording of Perotin's music, the translation I picked here> earlymusicnow.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Rose-Ensembl...
