  1. I like John's intriguing accompaniment in that little window example. Follows JMO's purposeful bass note movement principle in a tantalizing way, first phrase bass descending by minor sixth, cool.

  2. I know it is late but I used the introit from the solemnity of Mary, I sang the introit a Capella, afterword the MD looked a me and said twice "That was beautiful, simply beattiful". I thought to myself yea that what happens when you sing sacred music as part of the Liturgy. Thank you Mr. Ainsley.
