Alright, thanks for listening, now I have to get back to work.

I love this. It's like...

I don't know if it's what ur grandma wants, but that final reharmonization is pretty outrageous and great. Also is it me or was Dean 🍒 ready to rock before the last chord finished? #9LC

alright y'all calm down #9LC

This arrangement of "I saw three ships" is both completely masterful, 💯 no notes, but also seems perfectly calibrated to make me go insane this early in the day. It's been in like seventy five keys and there is a glissando into 9 out of 10 downbeats. #9LC

It's so weird to hear Rutter in such keys as E, A, or C, because normally he's featuring some French-ass chaos during Christmastide. #9LC

I don't know what's going on but you could teach a course on every final cadence in this whole service* being so perfectly calibr8ed *(provided nothing really fucked up happens in Dormi, Jesu) #9LC

Also I know it's apostrophising, but I love when a bit of text has a billion exclamation points but then it's the most delicate setting #9LC

Alright, Berlioz...! This seems like one of those pieces that's harder to learn than it sounds. NOT mad at that organ registration — it's giving SHAWM. #9LC

You know what would be a good art project is to cut up just the sound of people coughing and then remix it and send it to their houses. It can't be that hard to identify the culprits, can it? #9LC

Did you all remember to wish John Rutter a happy 80th birthday? I sent his ass a vintage swan postcard which was returned because I didn't put enough postage on the envelope :-( #9LC

The Kapellmeister really enjoyed saying "Shone" and I celebrate this for him. #9LC

You really cannot make me like this hymn. I like what the organist is doing with his feet with this canon in the last verse but have you EVER seen clunkier text setting? #9LC

Look at those outrageous unisons! #9LC

I'm not tripping: I think it is worth noting that Britten wrote "A Boy was Born" when he was NINETEEN, which is like 7 years older than some of those choristers and several years younger than much of the back row. #9LC

Now, hear how these tenors are all elegant and expensive-sounding? I'll pay them cash money to grab three choristers and do an impromp2 performance of Reich's PROVERB any day. #9LC

I do wish they would print, just for myne owne enjoyment, the original text of this: Ther is no rose of swych vertu As is the rose that bar Jhesu. etc. === like: For in this rose conteynyd was Heuen and erthe in lytyl space, Res miranda #9LC

I mean put me on an IV drip of every sequence in Bruckner short-form choral music. #9LC

The great thing about Bruckner's choral music is that you don't have to sit through all that Bruckner to get that NUTT. It's so efficient — all of them (Os Justi, Christus Factus Est 'nem) are gems. #9LC

I can barely even _listen_ to The Lamb, it's so weird and perfect. 🐑. Also loving this final tempo; did they do it that scrumptiously slow last year? #9LC

WHOA. Treble solo, that was trippy. I like this carol because it sounds like it's been in their rep since the beginning of time, and it's in dialogue with all the stuff we know — in the absence of Howells this year, it's definitely scratching that itch for me. #9LC

Is there a word for the specific emotion of being like “sigh… the neighborhood just isn’t the same…terrible…” when a restaurant I literally never once went into closes?

Alright, I guess I'm meant to be over here now? Or both? Or what's the best way. Now that I'm An (1) Ancient Person, I feel like learning new shit is harder than ever...
