  1. Guys, like, fuck the Christian church and everything, but there still some damn pretty hymns and I need you guys (aka professional recording choirs) to DIAL THE FUCK IN, ESPECIALLY IF YOU SELF ID AS CHRISTIAN…

    "Eben-Ezer" is all short e sounds - eh-behn eh-zehr - the "Ebenezer Scrooge" pronunciation may be correct for a name, but not actually correct for "Eben Ezer" - AS IN - AND FURTHERMORE - SPECIFICALLY - "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" - which is a real banger - Ebenezer is CLEARLY SUPPOSED to RHYME WITH PLEASURE - like even Cole Porter wouldn't deliberately try to fudge a rhyme that bad!

    and also - come on people - A Christmas Carol was published in 1843; the hymn was written by Robert Robinson in 1757/8

    the Mack Wilberg arrangement of Come Thou Fount is so fucking stunning but the long-e EbenEEzer just kills my soul every time and totally glitches the vibe

  7. 🇫🇷 Si vous aimez le chant grégorien ou avez envie de découvrir la richesse du plain-chant, il existe une web-radio qui en diffuse. Ce site propose d'autres web-radio diffusant des chants byzantins ou de la musique sacrée (pour les musicales).

    Idéal pour un moment de paix intérieure et de détente.

    Pour ma part, j'écoute souvent du grégorien lorsque je dessine. 🙂

    🇬🇧 If you like gregorian chant or would like to discover the treasures of the plainchant, there is a web-radio playing it all the day. You can also discover the sacred music or Byzantine chant (among the musical web-radios).

    For a peaceful moment in the day.

    Personally, I listen to gregorian chant when I'm drawing. 🙂

  8. I am posting a recording from our church choir of Saint Richard’s Prayer.

    Today I sang soprano instead of my usual alto. After years on alto it felt new and challenging. I still freeze sometimes in rehearsal since changes in music directors and difficulty getting scores. It is improving, slowly but surely.

    I am on a short break from my master’s program, though I will still study a little. Week after next I will help with a seven day online autism wellbeing event, supporting the team with editing and drop-in sessions for facilitators.

    I just received my first assessment back and was surprised with a High Distinction. The work was exhausting, but the result feels encouraging.

    This week I am taking things a bit easier and sharing this music with you.

  9. The choir of Clare College Cambridge has been touring in Europe, returned exhausted but happy, and posted these reflections from Graham Ross on Why They Do It.

  10. In her 1359 statutes for #ClareCollege Cambridge, the #LadyOfClare stipulated a schedule for religious services, including many "with notes"– illustrated here in the sumptuous breviary of her close friend #MarieDeStPol.

  11. From time to time here I’ve mentioned the monster choral/orchestral composition I’m working on. For anyone who might be curious, here’s an excerpt of the bit I just completed (in MIDI mock-up):
