My father used to be the director of a small church choir. He firmly believed that there was a particular piece of music (which they always sang unaccompanied) that they sang in just intonation, rather than equal temperament. I think he was dreaming, but I never got round to proving him wrong.
He forbade the church organist from playing this particular piece, in case someone in the choir heard it, and reverted to singing it in equal temperament at a later date.
As to your editing a Meta-question of a person concerned about people editing his questions—if you can't see how that is trolling, I have nothing more to say.
The best music is vocal music. And here I am, born without a singing voice.
Silvestro Ganassi dal Fontego, in his Opera Intitulata Fontegara, says it is the goal of all instruments to emulate the human voice. I think that says it best.
I think Tori Amos has an album that was intentionally done using just intonation, but now I cannot find the reference.
@MετάEd I can’t closevote again. It evaporated. Truly. I have gone through every single one of his questions, without fail, to make sure I had closevoted every one of them. I have. They just don’t always show up because of . . . well . . . slackerism.
Hey, does anybody know of any video editing software that will let me take four video clips and compose them split-screen, like one in each canton of the finished product?
@DavidWallace If you expect us to dispense charity towards NortonnS, then you are completely out of your mind. He is an abuser and a predator. He deserves the uttermost annihilation of his content.
Next time, I will use a mixture of Dutch and Latin, with spaces removed. And you may reply using a mixture of French and Croatian, also with spaces removed. Does that suit?
@cornbreadninja That, and they’ve used the computer to undo the aging effects that 11-13 years have done to Sirs Ian Holm and Christopher Lee, and perhaps also to Elijah Wood’s cheekbones-you-could-cut-yourself-on.
