Aw, Simon, you could at least have let my lot have a crack at it first, even though it would inevitably have ended in failure – after all, it doesn’t look that atonal: the voice-leading is fairly un-treacherous (on the page, at least), and that final chord is only an Eb minor triad with added major sixth (the modern SATB composer’s bread-and-butter, in other words)…

Tom Armstrong

It seems you have a different take on this, Simon, but the way anything remotely departing from convention and familiarity is so often summarily dismissed by amateurs is very depressing even though understandable on one level. One for the BBC Singers I think!

…but would any of their “alternative funding models” give them licence to sing it…???
