As always, a massive pleasure to be part of this incredible scheme run by @ORAsingers - giving so many young aspiring composers the chance to dig deeper into the world of choral composition and learn all about the weird and wonderful things there are out there to hear!
ORA Singers@ORAsingers

Congrats to our Apprentices for completing their 4 month course on composition! A big thanks to @rorywainwright for his excellent mentoring on history, harmony, textures, writing for voice, and more. Our Apps finished by writing their own new works which we showcased last night!

If you've got a few minutes to spare, have a read of my account of a rescue operation last summer in the Mediterranean ! 👇
SOS Humanity (international)@soshumanity_en

After a successful rescue in the #Mediterranean, a sudden storm front arrives – and with it, a metal boat. “We had received no information about this distress case. It was pure luck that we had altered our course and spotted them.” Read the full report! 👉 sos-humanity.org/en/testimonies…

Did a short little interview ahead of my piece being performed this weekend by @HuddsChoral and @MancCamerata !
Huddersfield Choral@HuddsChoral

Why ‘A Glimpse of the Light’?💫 Rory Wainwright Johnston’s composition A Glimpse of the Light lends its title to the whole evening’s performance next week. So we asked @rorywainwright about the significance of the title & more! Have a read: huddersfieldchoral.com/rory-wainwrigh…

✨Sibelius users!✨ I recently changed to Ultimate (from my beloved Sib6💔) but every so many days it says my license is no longer active and I have to reactivate it - is this normal? Or did I install something wrong 🙈

@nicomuhly Haha this is fantastic. Side note though, have you read any of David Crystals research/work? He has a fascinating dictionary of pronunciation of Shakespearean English. Mind blowing when you combine it with some of the more well-known sonnets and their now defunct rhymes.

Incidentally, every time I set English from the Past™, I print this note in the score. It’s very useful.

We'd love to make progress with this project to publish the music of Elizabeth Poston, but we're having difficulty raising funds: Poston was not able to leave a trust, grants or other financial settlement to enable the publication of her music, so we need to find 'new money' to help bring this about. Might your church/university/cathedral/grant-giving charity be able to help please?

What a treat to put headphones on and produce a session for Guildford Choral Society this weekend. Thank you to everyone involved in recording my new companion piece to Carmina Burana, ‘Officium Lusorum: Mass of the Gamblers’.

@DavidButtPhilip What a load of bullshit this article is. This person obviously doesn’t understand a thing about leadership or management

Just adding my voice to the chorus of opinion on this piece, which is utterly bizarre and archaic. Literally equating “charisma” with bullying & physical abuse.
Spectator Culture@CultureHouse

If you want conductors to become the faceless time-beaters of the 18th and early 19th centuries, you will inevitably remove much of the charismatic authority that has given classical music its pre-eminence in culture and society spectator.co.uk/article/replac…

@alexgardner This, so much. So often when I’m programming I spend so much time trying to find new music by lesser known composers and I just end up giving up half the time because there’s no information other than a title… pointless

As if this week couldn’t get any worse, I just found a parallel 5th in the St Matthew Passion.
