Feb 14 2024 - Maestro

 

Remember when a women couldn't be an actor?  It had to be actress.  But then a female doctor isn't a doctress - it is doctor.  So many variations in English.

Looking at the headline today, Seiji Ozawa's obituary gives him the job title of Maestro.  Isn't that so compelling - it is almost majestic.  Maestro refers to both men and women.  If you got more than one Maestro together, they would be called Maestri.  Isn't that rather similar to a flock of birds or to goose and geese.  

To be a Maestro, one's job would be either a composer, orchestra director or opera singer.  Also a great violinist.  Another definition from Wikipedia:  "respected composers, performers, impresarios, musicologists, and music teachers."  As well, there are positions in the orchestra that include Maestro in the name. 

But don't think it is all about music.You can be a barista maestro or work for Maestro software, and there are hundreds of jobs listed under maestro in canada.  Maestro sounds just too good to leave it to the classical music field.

 

 

Isn't this a cute little garden shed.  It is part of the Painted Ladies Series, though this one was found in Florida and not in Grimsby Beach.
