It’s Friday the 13th. For anyone leaning into the superstition that it’s unlucky—my counterpoint counterargument: 🎵 The bass line repeats 32 more times. The voices will work it out.* Counterpoint says everything will resolve…eventually. *Not the ones in your head. #Friday13th #ClassicalMusic

#NowSpinning Abbado’s Vienna Beethoven Pastoral. I am kind of blowing hot and cold with Abbado’s Beethoven. Some of it is thrilling. Some of it seems overly restrained. But it’s always thoughtful at least.

2 more days of our crowdfunder to go, and today's MiniMotet-based-on-a-well-known-tune is one for all the #Monteverdi fans. To paraphrase, sure he was great, but nuns did it all in wimples and chronically sleep-deprived. #nuntastic #earlymodern #GirlsGotPolyphony 1/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf-r...

Last week was the target for our next release and that will be pushed back until this week. The melodic dictation portion just wasn't as good as it needed to be so postponing was the best, if not ideal choice. Thanks for your patience and updates will be forthcoming.
