    Is that notated in the manuscript, or is it from contemporary sources? I'd guess the manuscript only has the chant + mode in square notation, but if there's fach-descriptive notation I've never heard of...*vibrates with excitement*
    No chance there's images of the Gradual online, is there?

    I asked my sister what I should take to my singing lesson. She stared at me, unblinking, and said: "Do some Bach oratorio. It's good for you." And then she mimed taking medicine for about 15 mins.

    Joke's on her, I love this shit.

    I had a choir director who was apparently once in the same room as Netrebko. He says she has so much presence and intensity, she commands attention no matter what she's doing. :D

    Bernstein goes back to his roots.

    PSA: it is inadvisable to have this in your head while cycling through London rush hour traffic. Makes you go "doo doo doot da-DAA, shit, that's, a bus, doot doot, you, wanker that's my right, of way". Road safety at all time low.

    Advance warning: while not as bad as the "Surprise" Symphony, Chichester Psalms is occasionally kinda Jumpscare - the Music. Especially the 2nd movement, which is also extraordinarily beautiful.

    ingloriousHeist Shen an Calhar

    Jumping in with Hindemith:



    I had to play this for an audition ages ago, and it was really refreshing. Everything I had played for auditions up to that point had been either Romantic period (not my favorite period to play from) or Baroque/early Classical.

    Edit: This DOES hit some of the highest ranges of a C flute, so if high pitched noises aren't your thing, don't listen to more than the first movement.

    I've never heard that before. It kind of reminds me of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf. I like it!

    Hindemith had so REALLY WEIRD ideas about how we should think about music. Prokofiev was one of his contemporaries - Sonata for Flute and Piano and Peter and the Wolf actually came out in the same year, I think! I'm not sure if they knew each other, but they were definitely being influenced by the same things.

    Sorry, I tended to do research on a composer if I was auditioning on one of their pieces. It gave me perspective, kinda? I never get to talk about them, though.

    It's a good habit to be in, tbh.

    Round and round my head it goes...


    Edit: sorry, sound quality of that video was rank. This one's a bit better.

    Also from the Hindemith wiki page:
    That's...really intriguing? Apparently the order goes "C G F A E E♭ A♭ D B♭ D♭ B F♯"

    ...and I was just like, maj or min? *slaps forehead* literally what the wiki page just said. Both, and neither.
