the four voices tune is lovely. i'd like to hear this in a nice ambience
without pitch doctoring at some point! especially the soprano has
audible artefacts.
(btw, goes to show why parallel fifths were frowned upon in the old days
- i sure love their sound, they stand out like a lighthouse, but they
are sooo hard to hit properly)
i think it could do with a little more slack, more in a madrigal style
of taking each sentence on its own, with slight tempo changes and short
cesuras.

the piano piece made me grin as i read along - you've certainly taken a
page out of charles ives' book by using many enharmonic changes of flats
and sharps that sound totally different from what they look like :)
keeps the pianist alert!

thanks for publishing those beautiful scores along with the music.
that's the open source spirit :)


best,

jörn
