The words seem to be for teenagers in love and the music was not interesting. In classical I don't even try to understand the words. I have a general idea of the content, sad, happy, etc. and just listen to how the music reflects it. I also can't stand women singers who can't seem to find the notes and screech and scream more than sing. I turn off my aids in Walmart and elsewhere. I have not heard the National Anthem sung properly in a very long time. Robert Merrill was the best. bill w</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Dec 31, 2021 at 11:25 AM Adrian Tymes via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" target="_blank">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I am aware of a number of singers who are articulate when singing.<div><br></div><div>Classical music with lyrics tends not to be performed by them.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Dec 31, 2021 at 9:09 AM William Flynn Wallace via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" target="_blank">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)">I quit paying attention to the words in songs long ago. Very few singers, Billy Joel is one, articulate enough for me to understand. It's my deafness. Pop music seems to be mostly about the words. Tuneful songs seem to have died somewhere in the 60s - for me. Practically no songs are worth listening to just for the music. Of course the Requiem is one of them. bill w</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Dec 31, 2021 at 10:54 AM Adrian Tymes via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" target="_blank">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Dec 31, 2021, 8:38 AM William Flynn Wallace via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" target="_blank">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">The impact is much reduced when, as I have often experienced such things, the performance and acoustics conspire to make the lyrics an unintelligible a capella that contrasts with the music - Adrian</span><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"comic sans ms",sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:small"><font face="comic sans ms, sans-serif">Maybe you didn't realize that it was in Latin? 😉😉😉 bill w</font></span></div></div></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Latin has words that are distinct from one another, and which are pronounced, in contrast to the sound I heard.</div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
