I came for the lutes, I stayed for the vibrancy and classic picturebook-esque artstuffs.

You are very kind. I have to say that I'm not so active these days, partly since I have found employment in a field that offers rewards not found elsewhere, and partly because I am disappointed that DA has become somewhat less than when I first joined. Quantity is no substitute for quality, present company excepted.

Just checking to see if you're still around.Β Β I'm still alive, though regrettably not doing as much as I once did.Β Real life seems more of a burden than it once was.Β Β Everything is a struggle, and more of a struggle every day.

I just learned how I can simulate a Valkyrie's hair blowing in the wind. When I get to that point, that is.

You're the only person I know from whom I could expect a knowledgeable answer to this question:
Listening to some Christmas carols, I get the impression that there was a time, perhaps several centuries ago, when certain modern musical conventions had not yet taken hold -- especially the division of time by powers of two. You know, groups of 4, 8, 16, 32 etc measures, each divided into full- , half-, quarter- , eighth- , sixteenth-notes etc. Certain carols -- "Foom foom foom" [link] may be an example -- seem to ignore that convention, with charming effect, though it makes me a little dizzy to listen to them. Is this an echo of times past?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, until somewhere around two-to-three hundred years ago, notes were divided by a rule of prolation (which at its height of development, defined major prolation, for an outer rhythm, and minor prolation for an inner rhythm), the prolation being either perfect (three shorter notes to one longer, symbolized by a circle prolation symbol) or imperfect (two shorter notes to one longer, symbolized by a segment of a circle crossed by a vertical line, echoed today by the use of the barred "C" used today for "cut time" (2/2 metre)

On second thought, I'm not sure that's the difference I'm hearing. Some carols don't seem to respect the rhythmic structure we expect nowadays, at the level of measures and groups of measures. I wish I could say it more precisely, and I wish I could point immediately to a better example.

Fascinating, thank you so much!
Harking back several decades, I seem to remember a "C", which I was told stood for "common time" or 4/4 meter.

Any comments on later installments of the Brainchild series? Can't tell whether you're reading...
I really have no idea where the series is headed. If something occurs to me, I write something related to it. I suspect by now I've established enough context so that any number of interesting stories could be written within it.

my late father was awarded an honorary Fellowship of the Institutute of Arts and Letters. (As a student he was effectively tricked out of qualifying, so was very proud to be able to put letters after his name).

Your work is beautiful, and I particularly like the medieval religious iconography. The insular art pieces are gorgeous!

Thank you cytricsilverlobo. I share the hope of all IMSLP members that the site can be re-established and rise, like a Phoenix, from its own ashes.
The IMSLP is not just "free beer", for many musicians, it is a VITAL resource, a means to obtain scores that they would not otherwise have access to.
π: 0 β©: 1
completely agree, there were scores that maybe we are not going to see again in a looooong time
π: 0 β©: 1
I have hope that the site will be reactivated. Some scores will have to be removed, but hopefully once PD compliance is complete there will be no further problems.
π: 0 β©: 1
I hope it won't take long, and let's wait until they do the PD bussiness

to add the cof icon to your journal, you have to search that deviation... to the right, there's a code, like : thumb2465 : (with no spaces, just an example) and add that code to your journal... it should appear... let me know if you need any further help !

I certainly am. Along with far too many other things to really concentrate. I may never really find out what that baby is capable of.
