WHAT ARE THE BRANDENBURG CONCERTOS?
According to Parlance Chamber Concerts, Johann Sebastian Bach traveled from Cöthen to Berlin in March 1719 and, while there, performed for Margrave Christian Ludwig of Brandenburg. The Margrave wanted Bach to send him some compositions. By 1721, Bach completed his “Six concerts avec plusieurs instruments” (Six concertos with several instruments) and sent them to the Margrave with a message you can read on Parlance. “No record exists of the Margrave of Brandenburg ever using the scores, ever sending Bach a fee, or ever thanking him…. The manuscript eventually became the property of the state library in Berlin, remaining unpublished until the Bach revival in the nineteenth century. In 1880 Philipp Spitta, Bach’s famous biographer, coined the term ‘Brandenburg Concertos,’ which has been used ever since for the beloved works.”

Elliott drew a blank. He lost his $806 and finished with $294.
Chuck went with The Planets. That cost him $1,399 and left him with a dollar.
Kate had the Four Seasons. She lost $87 and won the game with the $11,513 she had left. Kate Campolieta is the new Jeopardy! champ.
Reversal: A BIBLICAL BURIAL ($800) In the King James Bible, when a man said he’d follow Jesus but first had to bury his dad, Jesus said these 6 words – Chuck’s response was “What is let the dead bury the dead?” Ken accepted that but the judges said nope, the last two words are “their dead”
A triple stumper from each round WESTMINSTER-WINNING DOG BREEDS:
($400) The Smooth Fox this won Westminster’s first 4 Best in Shows, but the Wire Fox version has the most victories, with 15

Wow – unusually, I got well over half the TS correct. However, missed FJ. I said “Rackozy March” (which isn’t even plural).
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again – if one wagers $1500 on a DD, they won’t win. Unscientific, but whatever!
I can only imagine the Twitter abuse aimed at Mayim if she had a reversal and that weird edit in a game. Ha ha ha
At least Elliott made over 20K in his one game. That’s like two games the way these payouts have been lately.
To call that an uneven game would be a bit of an understatement.
Elliott, who I thought had great potential to be a multi-day champ, never recovered from his two pronunciation gaffes. Chuck’s effort to catch up was brave but in vain. And Kate, who started out like a house afire, did just enough after that to ensure a runaway.
This had to be the rare time when I knew all 3 DDs that were missed. (FJ was WAY out of my wheelhouse, though.) Originally from the Northeast, I have great familiarity with the Ivy schools and their locations.
There was a very awkward insertion after Elliott’s goof on the first DD. Seemed obvious to me that Ken first allowed his response, then the judges overruled him, stopped the tape, and had Ken make the correction. Normally those changes are made during the breaks, as Chuck’s misquote was.
Aside from the DDs, the smooth fox dog was not a challenge, same with the strolling of the heifers and Spanish for all the world
Another runaway game by the challenger and new Jeopardy champion after all players got incorrect final responses. Today, all DDs and FJs were incorrect, resulting in the 6TH TOTAL WASHOUT of the season.
Elliott was so close on the first daily double. He added the letter “N” to the word Alaska.
This happened a few times in Jeopardy’s history.
Have a safe 4th of July!
Also, only $17,600 for our combined coryat score for today, which makes me frustrated.
Not only that, but it is our first total washout on the 4th of July since 2006.
That was an unimpressive game. All 3 DDs were missed resulted our seventh skunking and another triple stumper in the final resulted our sixth total bust of wagering clues this season.
Happy 4th of July to you.
