I have a bad, bad habit of not getting work done where the deadline is impending, even work that's not terribly time-consuming or, interestingly, work that I enjoy. This is why yesterday, when I should have been working on one of my two half-finished handbell compositions I want/need to take to AGEHR national in a bit under two weeks, I instead worked on and largely finished (other than a quarter of the piano part and the ATB harmonies) part three of my Mass of Ordinary Celebration, the lengthyish "Holy Holy." Good for me. I guess.
But here is a question: The melody in this mass part covers an entire octave of range, currently from middle D to high D. For easiest congregational singing, what ought I change it to, if anything?
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
