'Difficult' choral music, opinions on

[Gabriel Jackson]

indeed, a long time ago

nonetheless I'm glad you're glad

A few hours is a long time for some people I suppose - at noon today you thought C was not in the scale in D minor...

[mercia]

you thought C was not in the scale in D minor...

if I'm told that D/E/C# is "clearly D minor" are we not referring to the harmonic minor ?

I'd give up if I were you.

You know what they say about talking to yourself...

It's "The Choir" Board, Alpie - think of it as counterpoint!

... grown somewhat dissonant of late!

[mercia]

You know what they say about talking to yourself...

.... that it's ultimately more rewarding ? - yes I think they may have a point

If I wasn't a responsible host, I might be tempted to start a third thread with same name

[MrGongGong]

Before this thread bites the dust
or turns into a grade V theory exam

the mention of the John Aldis choir reminded me of this , where I first heard them ..........

Too late - the off-shoot has been given a new (rather cumbersome) title!

I've just taken a spin through the St George's Chapel thread & discovered that this is itself an offshoot - so the other one is an offshoot of an offshoot! I wonder how many more branches (or twigs) could be devloped?

Shouldn't you be proud to attach your full name to your posts? ... why not put your name to them like Gabriel does?

But Gabriel Jackson may just be a pseudonym - or one of the many other GJs in the world (there are over thirty on Linkedin)

[Flosshilde]

Just taken a spin through this thread, & it appears that the off-shoot, or duplicate 'Difficult choral music ...' (subsequently renamed) thread has re-joined the original one. Will this one now be re-joining the St George's Chapel thread? If this sort of thing spreads the board will look like this -

Excellent, Flossie!

Do you know where that is?

[ardcarp]

Well, if it's spaghetti junction it's on the south side of Birmingham, I think, where M5, M6 and various Mn meet up. Satnavs as well as drivers get nervous.
