Dr. Bradley Lehman

I am a full-time "Client Services Consultant" at Angel.com. In that role, I design and produce automated telephone systems for dozens of clients. I have an IVR design manifesto....

Or, you can watch me tune and play harpsichords! My doctorate is in harpsichord.

October 21-22 I was a Visiting Scholar at James Madison University (Harrisonburg, Virginia), giving a solo harpsichord recital and a lecture/demonstration about tuning. See the recital program and lecture notes.

I've written various essays and articles (mostly about music)

I've compiled some Principles of Bridge and Life from experiences playing bridge

St Olaf College has a streamed video recording of a concert I gave there with Martin Hodel, 26 September 2007. It's trumpet and organ music.

My research on Johann Sebastian Bach's tuning is one of my big projects from 2004 to present. Here are the academic papers, the simpler explanations, and the hands-on instructions. There is also a list of recordings using that tuning system.

Other good stuff:

Harpsichord solo CD "Playing from Bach's fancy" released January 4th 2006; samples are available on MySpace and Last.fm .

Organ solo CD "A Joy Forever" released January 4th 2006; samples are available on MySpace and Last.fm .

Trumpet/organ CD "In Thee is Gladness" released January 2005

Afton Elisabeth, b 2002, and Cormac Arthur, b 2006. Afton is already a composer before age 3....

Sonnet LX - Shookspeare

Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end,
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
Nativity once in the main of light,
Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crowned,
Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight,
And Time that gave, doth now his gift confound.
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth,
And delves the parallels in beauty's brow,
Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth,
And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow.
You have no chance to survive make your time:
All your base are belong to us, sublime.
