Well, I’ve been busy stacking impossible notes next to each other, in my ongoing quest to write my way out of ever being asked to compose something ever again.

This is identical to the previous demo, up to the 2:00 mark. After that, a whole new section completed today, a Kyrie plopped right in the middle of the “forgive us our debts” phrase. Like last time, this isn’t yet finished (or properly edited), but unlike last time, I’m uploading a PDF of the score, in its present state. Geek on, young music geeks!

  1. Hot.

  2. Really nice, Mike. The spreading cluster at m. 24 reminds me of Charles Ives’s Psalm 90 (but it doesn’t sound derivative), and I particularly like the asymmetric meters on “Give us this day…”. I really like the Kyrie - a bit of Russian Orthodox flavor.

  3. By the way - is that choir all you?

  4. Thanks, Eric. That is high praise, coming from you. I appreciate it.

    Yes, the choir is all me. I figured out a way to record multiple vocal passes on a song without having to fall back to click, and this was the first project I tested it on.

  5. That is a cool solution - of course, *you* can follow the conductor…

  6. Not so much.

    My job for 4 years as a choir accompanist on piano was, for the most part, to ignore the conductor and lead the orchestra.

  7. Hey, Mike. Anything new here?

  8. GET OFF MY BACK, SALIERI!!!!

    I’ll get it done when I get it done. Sheesh. You can’t rush genius.

  9. Sorry, Wolfie. I was just curious.

  10. done.
