February 17 - The Passage


Quiz 4 for the Theoreticians -- intervals from P1 to P8, and G modes (Major, Mixolydian, Dorian, Minor) -- with musical examples of Free and Florid Organum (on Kyrie IV), the Orkney Islands Hymn to St. Magnus, the Latin Lyric Song of the Ass, Leonin and Perotin's Hec Dies settings, Thomas of Celano's Dies Irae, the mediaval Italian Trotto, Richard the Lionheart's Ja Nuns Hons Pris, Guillaume de Machaut's Notre Dame Mass: Kyrie, and Conrad Paumann's Mit Ganzem Willen.  Before that, page 11 of Psalm 47 composed, and driving rain.


After, the latter again, sliding home to orchestrate the 16th piano-vocal page of New Big People Old Trouble So Sunday (resulting in 87 pages of total thus far) and deal with video of



Elijah Ghost: V. Quartetto - "Still" (Ahab and a Member of a Group of Prophets).
