some shameless self promo, which doesn't feel like self promo because i'm only one of many involved in this:

my college choir's newest CD comes out on the 2nd May! first ever recordings of the little-known 16th century composer Marc'antonio Ingegneri. the album is Marc'antonio Ingegneri: Vol. 5 - Motets For the Liturgical Year and i think it's pretty damn good tbh!

https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/9764597--marcantonio-ingegneri-choral-music-vol-5-motets-for-the-liturgical-year

(ordering from either of those links will mean the sale is tracked and we might get into the charts, so if you're gonna buy the album then go that route to make my choir director happy! obviously we wanna avoid amazon if possible, so i'd go with presto music for that reason)

and of course it will be on spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/5OsazzFwTYWz7ZGLbafe9X?si=M6c67qs6RXyWI5DRa0NpLw

So I was watching a video about overlapping melodies in musicals and remembering how BRILLIANT Quartet at the Ballet from Broadway Anastasia is.

Not only is it a very nicely done example of grand polyphonic pieces in musicals where the characters are singing separate melodies that come from earlier in the show (think tonight quintet or one day more), they’re singing just the tunes of those earlier themes, with unique lyrics. In addition, the music ALSO flawlessly works in the theme from Swan Lake, AND the action happening on the stage of the ballet reflects the characters’ conflicts (which this post talks about in detail)

Anyways it’s just a really cool song and shout out to Stephen flaherty for some great composition.

Here’s the video if you want to check it out:

I think ‘polyphonies’ is the technical term. Anyway, they fuck.

Oklou, Choke Enough

New music Wednesday

Some critics are referring to this album as "the debut album," which makes us wonder if we imagined Galore (the actual debut) and thus 'wrongfully' calling it one of the best albums of 2020. Regardless, this new release from French vocalist, producer, and composer Oklou is in fact self-reliant and frankly sophisticated. It features Baroque-style polyphony enveloped in a refined, hazy atmosphere, resembling an underwater symphony.
