The reason why I'm interested in the music of Da Vinci, is because I play Basstrombone in a Brass-ensemble in which we emphasize on renaissance music. We play music of contemporaries of Da Vinci, such as Praetorius, Susato, Buxtehude, Speer,...Perhaps we could play something of Da Vinci too: It would be great for the audience and ofcourse for us too!!! My father is also a musician: He composes classical music, mostly for Symphonic Wind Band.
If you have a wind band at your school they might now him: Jan Van der Roost.
He listened to the music and found it very good. It is definitely renaissance, but the harmonisation is a little strange. It doesn't follow all the rules for the music of that time (...ofcourse, what are rules?)It seems to me that there are still many faces of Da Vinci that we don't know, but with a project like yours, we are able to see at least some flashes of genius.

Dear Steve:
The past several months have been rather hectic for me as i finished my term as NYSATA President, moved, and started a new job.
However! I did take the time to visit your students' website back in August and I was very impressed with what I saw. I found the site engaging, full of information, and graphically well designed. Please share my comments with your students, and tell them they get a big "thumbs-up" from me.
I am going to cc your message on to the new NYSATA President, and others I feel would enjoy seeing and sharing it.
Thank you for sending me the website address!
It was a pleasure.

Pau Hana Award site review for...Why is the Mona Lisa Smiling
Pau Hana literally means: "Finished Work". It's a time when Hawaiians reflect back with pride on the a day's hard work. It's a time for celebration!
This is not to say you have finished work on your web site, for we feel a great site is always a work in progress. It is to celebrate the hard work you have already put in on your page, and to reflect upon that hard work with pride!
We like your family-friendly website and have decided that you have earned our Pau Hana Award! I do not concur with your smiling conclusion. I have also played with morphing programs and can turn almost anyone or anything into anyone else. Nonetheless, you have a fun site worthy of our award.

Nice job! Sorry for the delay.Rick
We have recently taken a tour of your web site and feel that your site meets the criteria of the Web Author's Choice Award...Congratulations!
In addition to content, design, ease of navigation, your site is viewed with several different browsers as well as 2 or 3 different sized monitors. Often, web sites look very different depending on which browser and/or monitor you are utilizing. We also view with browsers that have the "compressed graphics" feature on, which sometimes will show what may appear to be great graphics, to appear very distorted in some browsers...America on-line for example, has their browser (IE Explorer 3.01 & 4.0) set this way by default, whereas Netscape from what we can tell, does not.
Your site in particular is very well thought out, informative and very navigable. A definite "Bookmark" on our system!
Welcome to the club!
Rick

To Steve F and his students,
Congratulations! We reviewed your site, and given the circumstances inwhich it was created (notably the use of 15 yr old computers) we were very impressed. We feel you deserve this award for several reasons:
The site is useful and very informative. Its academic content is thorough and offers a unique approach to Leonardo da Vinci's works.
You also offer a worthy example of a successful project involving both students and teacher. We admire the efforts and they are showing up in what you are presenting to the web community.
In a few words, you are getting the award because you are an example for your community and all schools to follow. We encourage you to keep up the great work! You definitely have a good chance to earn the Gold Award this coming December.LJS Webmaster
