<font face="Calibri">Sure, John, you are right that Hermann' birthday
deserves all our attention. Any potable could do, but 'Bavarian'
appears to me somewhat approximate. See
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.europeanbeerguide.net/bwurbrew.htm">http://www.europeanbeerguide.net/bwurbrew.htm</a>, where you'll find
among others a few breweries in Konstanz.</font><br>
<br>
Your statement that Hermann is "one of the few from that era for
whom we know precise birth and death dates" reminds that so many
others would also deserve our memory, but we lack the dates. I
believe therefore that the wisest and the safest is to celebrate
every day of the year, with a variety of beverages. This should be
the duty of any theorist respectful of the memory of her or his
forerunners.<br>

To the collective wisdom (with apologies for cross-posting):<br>
<br>
Please join me today (i.e., Thursday, 18 July 2013) in marking a
milestone<br>
birthday of a well known music theorist and composer.<br>
<br>
Hermannus Contractus, aka Hermann der Lahme, Hermann von (der)
Reichenau, etc.,<br>
has hit the big 1K (or, if you prefer, the big M)! Really! He's
one of the few from that<br>
era for whom we know precise birth and death dates.<br>
<br>
The party at my place will include some appropriate Bavarian
potables, and Sacher torte.<br>
Please feel free to join in vicariously.<br>
<br>
With best wishes,<br>
<br>
