Boy, this thread reminds me that I don't listen much any more, for the sake of listening. Everything is work-oriented -- some MIDI version of a piano piece a composer wants me to hear (and consider playing, of course), multiple takes and edits for recordings I'm working on, etc. Now and then I put on something to really listen but I end up using it as background while I'm chopping veggies for dinner. So I don't pay enough attention. If we're off somewhere in the car, I actually listen to stuff. Lately, that means a CD of 2-piano works by Christian Wolff, and some Perotin (organum) sung by the Hilliard Ensemble. Joe | |||

No, I haven't. Wow...wonder how they handled the transcription. I love the Hilliard's approach and musicianship in general, BTW. I think I have them doing Ockeghem's Missa Prolationem and motets, too. Joe | |||

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Runs away screaming in terror..... There's just too much trauma associated with that one to allow me to listen to it ever again. | |||

Huh? Do explain. Did somebody tie you to a chair and force you to transcribe it from a recording or something? Joe | |||

Joe, maybe I could try listening again 19 years later.... Ockeghem's Missa prolationem was apparently my music history professor's favorite composition of all time, polyphony's sine qua non in her book. The undue amount of time we spent listening to and studying that piece forced us to nearly ignore studying music of the late Renaissance, as it got short shrift at the end of the semester due to time constraints. That fact still bugs me after all these years. | |||

Those of you who are Madeleine Peyroux fans will find this quite nice. | |||
