I think it is usually the Sunday of the last week of the class.
So, by the 9th of November?

Was this intended?

That is a real question? The tempo is relaxed but the movement from note to note is smooth, or blended but the trills are not muddled. I would say his style has more feeling because these specific differences. The vocalization has more nasal resonance.

I could, however, hear the pulsing, as you illustrated in your examples. Rhythmic articulation is an emphasis of the vowel sound on the downbeat with what sounds like a slight increase of volume, like…Read more

I don’t know how the lay person of the 2000s is in such different (ie worse) conditions than a lay person of the 1800s. If we are to believe in “progress” we all should have more time, energy and health to pursue worship and thanksgiving than ever before.

I down and out with signifigant cough. I feel better (sort of) but the cough isn’t letting up enough for my voice to recover. I have tried practicing here and there coupled with a lot of listening to recordings. I hope to catch up during the Thanksgiving break as I will have a week off from work.
